Stumbled upon an interesting story while organizing

HireNeighbors'  first community job fair. The group picture

is of company representatives who attended my event:

Clayton County Commissioner's Office, Salvation Army, Valid

Financial Services and Walmart.  I'm 4th from the left.   I learned

many job seekers, for the first time ever, receive food stamps

to feed their families.  They've thrown pride out the window to survive.

I have to respect that.  Did you know a single person with less than

$1,100 a month in income can qualify for up to $200 a month in food

stamps?  It's better than starvation. I know of one woman who used

some of her food stamps to buy muffins from Publix.  She sold

them (for a profit) to employees in the city government office close

to her home.   She used the money to pay her electric bill and buy

gas for her car.  I thought that was smart.  Adversity breeds creativity.
