Chesterwy,
For example, the guy in front of me last night, while waiting for our food, told me his friend gets "Foodshare" (food stamps). He had been getting $450/month. During covid, they increased the amount, and still are, by $750 per month! He now gets $1,200/month for food from the gov! I don't know anything about this program, but assume he must have a family of 3 or 4.
