Food Stamps

I was reading an article in the New York Times about a woman on food stamps. I visited the interactive food stamp map of the United States accompanying the article and learned that 34% of all children in Davidson County where I live depend upon food stamps for food.

This does not include the children who are served by groups such as Second Harvest Food Bank. Groups such as Second Harvest give food to those who do not qualify for federal aid as food stamps. I bet the percentage would be higher if the story included all those receiving other help.
