HOSEA Feed The Hungry and Homeless Benefits Coordinator/Case Manager Danina Battle stands with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack at Gwinnett Technical College, in Lawrenceville, GA, on Friday, Mar. 20, 2015. Secretary Vilsack announced the grantees for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Employment and Training (SNAP E&amp;T) pilots. These grants are provided by the 2014 Farm Bill to help SNAP participants gain and retain employment that leads to self-sufficiency. Ms. Battle was commended for meeting the challenges in her life and her way off the SNAP and many challenges to enter her present career path. Battle is a mother of three and was hard hit by the recession.  Battle was motivated to be a role model for her children, she got a part-time job and went back to college building her technology, health care and interviews skills. This provided her the ability to enter a career path with HOSEA.  USDA photo by Lance Cheung.
