We have to keep in mind that even here on the FR there are good people who worked hard all their lives who have no choice but to also get some assistance because SS is just not enough alone. Some are making less than a thousand dollars a month at a time when a one bedroom apartment runs and average of 1,200 dollars or more. Especially those who were homemakers all their lives trying to get by as a widow on only part of their late husbands SS. They have absolutely no choice but to get SNAP to offset rent, utilities, Etc.
Yes, I get that.
The thing is, though, churches can step up and help for those TRULY in need. Too many of the welfare deadbeats also try to scam churches.
