It was worse when it was worse. Welfare worker wanted us to sell our furniture before they would give us a penny more. My mom cried a river until her brothers stood up and picked up the tab for feeding us.

I applied for them last winter when I applied for heating assistance..As Tena said, you have to be poorer than poor to get food stamps now..Things have changed in social services..I didnt get much from fuel assistance either..They gave me $325, and I was getting a bill for $700 every 5-6 weeks..Thanks to "Call Joe for Oil" I was able to get another 100 gallons
