Thank you for posting this. Here in Maine local groups are working to help people one-on-one. The audiology office I was at yesterday had a piece of paper with tear-off strips on the bottom. If anyone was worried about being able to buy food, they were to tear off a strip and present it at the check-out desk. The people in the office were providing what was needed. I asked if they would accept non-perishable donations but was told they don't need public help - yet. Another lady in the local Indivisibles group is trying to pair people who will "adopt" a family for November to be sure they have food. There are so many Mainers who are stepping up to help others who are less fortunate. I hope this is happening around the country.

Empires don’t collapse from invasion; they collapse when the rich debate tax credits while the poor go hungry. The SNAP cards may be empty, but the vaults aren’t.

Superb reporting, Sir. I pray for restitution of funds for all 42 million Americans, especially in the months of November and December for Txgiving and Xmas.

Thank you for posting this information for people. It's sorely needed for SNAP recipients, and it really lets the general public know more about SNAP and how it works on ground level. I worked for a 5-County Family Planning and Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) Agency for nine years in rural Pennsylvania. I know how important SNAP and WIC are for people in need. Our agency's clients included working low-income people and/or the elderly or disabled. Our good governor is doing all that he can to try to fill in some gaps.

Food stamp should only be given to white men. White men are being discriminated against for jobs. The illegals are here to take advantage, and none of them should be given any benefits.

To LamedVav: What possessed you to make such a bizarre comment on a post that you obviously have no interest in whatsoever? Maybe you should get a hobby or do something that would improve your disposition and put your free time to better use. Think about it. Seriously.
