Thanks Again, From The Bottom Of Our Stomachs
May 11th, 2008 | by christine |Just want to give another shout out to our awesome commissioners. From the AP:
The number of Michigan households getting food stamps has risen 53 percent in the past five years, with one in eight state residents now aided by the nutrition assistance program, authorities say.
In all, 590,600 state households got food stamps in March, the Michigan Department of Human Services says. The households include 1.26 million people, or 12.5 percent of the state’s 10.07 million residents.
Nationwide, 27.7 million people received food stamps in January — or 9.2 percent of the nation’s 300 million people.
So now is a great time to cash in on hunger.

Christine, I just found your blog via MLive blogs - that’s AWESOME that you’re blogging from Shiawassee County.
I grew up between Byron and Bancroft, and even though I live north of Flint now I still consider myself a country girl.
Adding you to my feed reader now.
