Smart! 2
Spokane news:
Very smart. Note that it didn't happen UNTIL the food stamps were cut. I'm sure it wouldn't happen at all in vibrant communities, but luckily Spokane is only minimally vibrant. ¶ 10:11 AM
The number of people signing up for the food assistance program known as EBT Cards has steadily increased the past several years.
Some people in Spokane say their monthly allowance has been drastically cut, forcing them to alternative solutions. KREM2 spoke with several families who say their monthly food allowance has been cut by more than 70%. Tasked with finding other ways to feed themselves, they're using their EBT Cards a little differently.
Now more and more of those families are using their money to buy seeds from the grocery store to grow their own gardens.
