Toledo Blade: Demand for food stamps up in region
The Toledo Blade has a detailed report today about food stamp usage in Ohio and Michigan. There are Monroe County statistics in the story.
A snippet:
Last month, Roy and Monica Craven did something they thought they would never have to do.They walked into the Lucas County Department of Job and Family Services on Monroe Street to see what kind of programs they could qualify for – food stamps, cash assistance, medical help, anything.
“We weren’t familiar with the system,” Mrs. Craven said. “We’ve always toughed it out before.”
Her husband added, “I didn’t want to do it. We were out of options.”
