Nowhere Else to Turn
In a guest column in the Dayton Daily News, Shared Harvest Foodbank executive director Tina Osso responded to accusations made in a recent article surrounding fraud in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
As she points out in her commentary, "The government’s Food and Nutrition Service estimates indicate that the national rate of food stamp trafficking declined from about 3.8 cents per dollar of benefits redeemed in 1993 to about one cent per dollar during the years 2002 to 2005."
