“One out of every two children in the U.S. will be eligible for Food Stamps at some point in their lives (Feeding America).” That means there is a 50% chance of our own kids being one of them.
My oldest son qualified for food stamps when he was struggling to find work in 2003. He lived on his own, but I knew he didn’t have money for food after the rent had been paid. So I did what all mothers would do if they could. I went to the super market and bought two sets of groceries: one for our family at home and one for him. In many ways, his circumstances led me to accept my job at River City, because I asked the question, if I did not help, who would feed him? How could he find work if he was hungry? How could he stay healthy without healthy food?
