The seventh class

Today, we have a guest speaker, Nick Claussen, who is working as Community Relations Coordinator, Jobs and Family services, as part of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is a government program and the funding is directly from federal, some kind of they collect the data to federal and the federal decided how much per person to give money. This program is designed to provide "a vital supplement to the food budgets", which like 3 weeks food in a month for example, of the recipients. Everyone could get this program's help is his household's gross monthly income is at or under 130 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. And there is no nutritionist in that program, but the supple gift card or credit card can't used in alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vitamins and medicines, hot food products that are prepared to be eaten immediately, no-food items.
