A survey of 39 recipients of an Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership (EICAP) food assistance program found that lack of knowledge about EICAP's programs was a primary contributor to low attendance. While some respondents reported understanding the benefits and functions of EICAP programs, they also reported feeling they had nothing to gain from them. The results suggest that communication needs to be improved to clarify what EICAP offers beyond food assistance and how its programs could benefit participants. It is recommended that EICAP increase information provided about its budgeting class and target outreach more specifically to those who could benefit.
