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.
