BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Those looking for ways to recover SNAP benefit lapses should check out this E-resource.

Essentia Health is partnering with Great Plains Food Bank through the Resourceful platform, which allows for electronic referrals to community resources. It is free to use for everyone.

Nutrition is a strong social determinant of health.

“What’s different about this platform than maybe just Google or an online resource directory is that it allows us to place electronic referrals to the community-based organizations,” said Jill Doberstein, a Community Outreach Manager at Essentia Health.

The program connects users to food, shelter, health care, transportation and financial assistance.
