I work in a Food Stamp office.  We call them Nutrional Supplements now.  We are doing "sudden service" in our district and I believe it is now state wide.  We are required to see a client within 1/2 hours.  I want to encourage ANYONE who thinks they may be eligible for the benefits to apply.  The income limit for one person is $1127,  I also want to push a program called Harvest Share, which we share with everyone who comes in. 

We also encourage people to use the resource line of 211 which can be dialed from any phone, to find any kind of resources.  You get to talk to a live person.
