Merced County Times: Campaign Targets Food Benefit Problems Among Ex-Inmates (December 5, 2022)
A new campaign by statewide non-profits is setting out to fix a loophole in California’s food stamp benefits program.
The Thriving Transitions campaign was launched recently to address the problem of former inmates being stricken from food stamp rolls during incarceration. The effort is a partnership of several community organizations, including Nourish California, Root & Rebound, Justice and Aging and Legal Services for Prisoners with Children.
