The kids go to school early for free breakfast, get free lunch and stay after for after school snack because that’s the only food they are getting that last week before new food stamps come out.

The free meals are tiny but definitely better than nothing.

With the price of groceries now I am hearing neighbors say the stamps last more like two weeks than three.
