Many Elderly Qualify, But Do Not Participate in SNAP

Fort Pierce, FL - APRIL 14: Elizabeth Staughter, 84, makes her way into a food pantry based in a local community center in Hobe Sound, FL. She met Dillie Nerios there while getting a box of food and applied for the SNAP program on the spot. Staughter, a widow recently injured in a car accident, worked for over 50 years doing domestic work for wealthy families on nearby Jupiter Island. Many low-income seniors qualify to participate in the S.N.A.P. (food stamps) program but do not receive the benefit, often because they are too proud or unaware of it. Photo by Michael S.
