Thank you. Some charity came up with the stat that 1 of 4 children in America goes hungry every night. How the heck do they get away with these barefaced lies? Food stamps pay almost $200 per household member per month. Children from poor families also qualify for free school lunches.
I don’t know where you get your food stamps forumala - I know some who receive them and most only get $60-$75 a week per person and that depends on other things like rent, utilities, medical expenses, etc. Get your facts straight before making such outrageous claims. I also know someone who works at JFS, and know what I’m talking about. For instance, here in Ohio, for 2 people the most they can collect is #357 per month. That depends upon other factors, as I stated.
I went grocery shopping at Walmart Sunday night. Just buying food for 3 weeknight meals, no junk food, costed $87. Then I went to a privately owned grocery on the way home to pick up a few things not available at Walmart and that was $35. I have a family of 4. $200, food stamps or not, goes pretty quick at the grocery store nowadays. Especially if there are teenagers in the household.
The max SNAP benefits for a family of four is $443. My wife and I spend more than that in a month and we do NOT eat extravagantly.
