They have the Angel food program here in East texas too same deal. My grandmother uses it for her household of three and it is great food however it was not enough food for my larger family of 6 even purchasing two. On the WIC deal...our income was a little high for the bracket but they make exceptions because the program is based on nutritional need. My second daughter saw a pulmonologist and had a few issues when born and that threw us into the "need" category. Also my youngest (2) is lactose intolerant which also throws us back into the need category again (the other kids are too old for wic now 6,7, and 11). Even though the income doesn't let us qualify the "need" does. On paper it looks like it is much more than what it is with the money.....
Also there are ministry programs that have food banks that help people out....I know kind of humiliating but I am not too proud to say that I have had to go there and do that. Sometimes you just do what you have to do to survive and still have some dignity left. I have also done "swaps" with veggie stand people some of mine for theirs...or even jellies and jams I made for fresh produce or the farmer Joe down the street has 2 acres of corn I will go pick with the kids a couple of bushels and give him some home baked goodies in return. I think we all are suffering right now in one form or another but there is light at the end of the tunnel there!!!!!
