Families in Need

"We have 3 in our family and do receive food stamps. However, we only get about $140 a month and it doesn't get all we need. We are very creative and conservative with food/meal choices but still run out. We shop at thrift stores and only discount places and only eat at home so there is no unnecessary money going out" — a new family in March, with a working Dad, trying their best to get by on a minimum wage job.

This new family at the pantry has 7 in the household. The Dad was working full time to support his wife, 4 children ages two through 14, and his senior mother-in-law. After a terrible accident at home, he cannot work for the foreseeable future and will not qualify for unemployment. Applying for disability takes months, even years. — another new family in March with a desperate need for assistance.
