ONE IN SEVEN AMERICANS USING GOVERNMENT HELP TO EAT ENOUGH FOOD!

Food coupons, stamps, EBT, or CALFRESH... no matter what you call it, ONE IN SEVEN AMERICANS QUALIFIES TO HAVE GOVERNMENT HELP TO BUY ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT!

Yes, you can qualify for this help even though you have a job. Considerations include the number of people in the family, how much you pay for rent, mortgage, utilities, and what assets you have. There's been a lot of advertising to make people aware that they are eligible. Some will not want to reveal their personal finances to a government agency and sign under penalties of perjury!

YOU MAY WANT TO GO TO A LOCAL FOODBANK RATHER THAN GET EBT. At some foodbanks a lot of questions will be asked of you during "intake" and information you give may still be reported to the government. Others only care that you're a human being and have need.

Meanwhile, we can't help but notice and be shocked by the higher prices of food, which might or might not be linked with the high price of gasoline and fuels for transporting produce and other food items.

We recently had to walk out of a chicken fast food place when we saw that the prices were up easily a dollar per menu item. We then went to a burger place where the burgers with the fries and drink were also all up by a buck. ate there.
