The City of Chicago offers food stamps for economically disadvantaged individuals, but accessing eligibility can be a logistical burden. mRelief has developed a Twilio-powered SMS service to help people check their eligibility on demand, reducing the need for travel and wait times. This innovative approach leverages text messaging as a tool for social change, particularly among those who are underserved and have limited access to smartphones or digital resources. By providing an accessible way to apply for food stamps, mRelief aims to increase participation rates and make public assistance more effective.
