Hello,
On Tuesday, Eric Claussen, from Jobs and Family Services in Athens came to talk to the class about how food security plays a role in his job. He talked about SNAP and gave us handouts and fact sheets about the program. It was interesting to read the information he gave us and see how many people in Ohio are using SNAP. He talked about resources and food banks and different help that people can get if they are in need of food.
Overall it was interesting to hear about because, as a student at OU, I had forgotten about the surrounding people in Athens who are not students who really struggle to find food on a day-to-day basis. (Not that I'm completely unaware of my surroundings-but often times I'm not thinking about it)
