2 Wisconsin Counties Report Food Stamp Usage Up By 50%

Both Marathon County and Lincoln County Wisconsin report that local households that receive food stamp have more than doubled since 2007. According to an article in the Wausau Daily Herald, the two small counties combined have more than 18,000 Wisconsin FoodShare recipients (the official name of the SNAP program in WI).

The huge increase provides a snapshot of how badly American citizens are faring in this horrible economic climate. Many of the residents are happy to be able to rely on the green Wisconsin Quest Card to help stretch their food budget each month.
