Jeff never imagined he would end up using food stamps - both him and his wife have college degrees. But when the economy fell, so did their small business, and they ended up relying on food stamps to feed their family.
Today, Jeff has a great job that allows him to provide for his family. He says food stamps helped get his family back on their feet. "For us, they were a stop-gap measure; they prevented us from falling so deep into poverty that we couldn't get out."
