Maria Antonieta, Queen of France, was famously quoted when informed that her subjects had no bread to eat, Let them eat cake then.
A growing number of families are relying on public and private assistance programs to make it through the month. Nationally, food stamp use is at record highs and climbing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that one in eight Americans uses food stamps to help buy food, and there doesnt appear to be an end in sight to that ever-escalating number. In three years, the number of people using food stamps grew from 26 million to 42 million.
Hunger is a real problem right here in our local community. Children are going to bed without food, working adults are skipping meals to pay housing and energy costs, and seniors are choosing between food and medications. Hungry adults cannot perform well in the workforce. Hungry students cannot learn, compromising their futures.
