Help with Food and funds

We all know the price of food is up, it’s been up since gas prices spiked, and some, hasn’t gone down yet.. So why haven’t food stamps changed , to accomidate the higher prices?
   
One person gets just over a hundred bucks a month for food, but with higher prices, it doesn’t seem to be enough. Many people have to choose between important things.. like bills—medicine—and food.

Here’s a list of places that can help, if you’re strapped for cash.
