Will I Lose FoodShare Benefits if I Do Not Complete My FSET Activities?

FSET is a volunteer program, so you can keep your FoodShare benefits even if you do not complete your FSET activites. Keep in mind that if you don't complete your activites, you will not be able to get Child Care, help with transportation or other FSET supportive services.

The Red Cliff Social Services has a resource center with two computers with access to job search, and tools to help with resumes and research. We also have a small collection of books on how to interview, build resumes as well as different research books.
