Meeting Description

Details

This meeting is an opportunity for us to meet physically with the Caring Council.

Combined with the Caring Council and the Fair Banking Coalition, this meeting serves as an opportunity for us to consolidate our efforts to fight against poverty and injustice.

The Caring Council is focusing in on food stamps. Only 31% of people eligible for food stamps get them in San Diego County because of a system that discourages them from getting them.

People are searched.

County officials make the process very hard with a cumbersome application process.

The home visits are unannounced.

Children are going hungry as a result.

San Diego rates last place in the nation for eligible families getting foodstamps!

Most of our meetings will be televised on Internet TV on the Citizens Internet TV Network at http://www.helloworld....

We will also have meetings on the 3rd Sunday of each month at Joyce Beers Community Center, 3901 Vermont Ave., San Diego at 6P.M.

There are critical issues ahead of us and with us.

    It's sad that there are children going hungry in our communities. Fault the parents not the county! It's not the county's responsibility to feed the children, it's the parents'! It's sad that there are severly lazy people out there who think they are entitled to everything to be handed to them. It's absolutley understandable why there are so many hoops to jump through to get "free" aid from the county. I'm all for unannounced visits! How else can the county catch those abusing the system?
