NOMINATION FORM
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Hunger Champion Award honors local offices
that provide exemplary service in assisting eligible clients to obtain SNAP benefits. Any individual, agency
or organization who has worked, observed or has personal experience with a local office may nominate
that office for the Hunger Champion Award.
A committee will select awards from the nominations based on three important areas of success:
outreach, access and customer service. Please provide a justification of no more than one typed page
stating why the nominated local office should be recognized as a Hunger Champion.
The justification should include how participation rates have been affected by outreach activities and
enhancements. Examples include: a) partnerships with other government or private organizations; b)
implemented processes that made accessing the program easier for working persons, immigrants and the
elderly; c) assistance provided to parents who must bring their children into the office; d) courtesy and
helpfulness of the office staff; e) attention to reasonable wait times; f) referrals to other assistance
programs; g) timely processing of SNAP applications and expedited benefits; and h) overall objective,
activity, program, process, or result that sets the office apart from other offices.
