You also have to take into account the number of people who have limited or nonexistent reading skills. It’s not easy to access information about help when you read below a 5th grade level (like 1 in 3 of Memphians do). In addition, most people don’t know services like 211 (through the Public Library) that provide information about a variety of agencies that can provide help.

Visited the MIFA web site lately? I have. It provides information about pretty much everything except HOW TO GET FOOD. That’s a super secret which can only be learned from insiders.

I wonder if that commenter believes in Karma because I sure do and it’s sure to swing around and get her right where it hurts…be it financially or otherwise.

It’s hit my food budget hard to have my children home for the summer and not participating in the school lunch program; add in the ever-increasing price of gasoline to get to work and school, and my two-college-student family is about one paycheck away from disaster.
