More in my basket

More In My Basket (MIMB) was developed in 2010 at NC State University to increase food security through education and application assistance. MIMB is a research-based program that educates families on food resource management behaviors and facilitates access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by addressing identified barriers to application. MIMB serves all of North Carolina.

Program Components:

EDUCATION

MIMB staff and Extension Agents provide education about FNS through presentations to community groups and also share information at large-scale events, such as resource fairs. During programs, participants learn about FNS eligibility criteria, allowable food purchases, how to use an EBT card, myths, and ways to apply.

OUTREACH

Partnerships are cultivated with local community groups to extend outreach efforts across North Carolina.

NC State University promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discrimination and harassment based upon one’s age, color, disability, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation and veteran status.
