Was in the local Dollar Tree last night. Lady in front of me had a cart loaded with applesauce, fruit cups and macaroni which she paid for with a LoneStar food card. Comment was made that she must really like applesauce. Said she buys as much as she can of these staples on her LoneStar card the first of every month and donates it all to our local VFW which provides free lunch to Veterans and their families.
She also commented that she is disabled - obviously older and could barely get around with a cane - has no income but is able to grow a small garden in her back yard and God provides for her so this is her way to give back.
Pretty interesting IMO.
If these are being purchased with SNAP benefits this is clearly illegal -- food stamp fraud. Not illegal if she is purchasing with TANF.
