Perquimans Residents
Given Donated Food
1,212 Perquimans County
residents were given USDA food
during the month of March.
More needy families in North
Carolina are benefiting from
U.S. Department of Agriculture
food assistance programs, with
latest reports showing that
267,365 persons got such help in
March.
This is a 2 per cent increase
over the 261,000 persons
receiving aid in February and 15
per cent more than received food
help during January.
The significant increase in
participation over the past two
months, officials of USDA's Food
and Nutrition Service report,
was due largely to the
inauguration of changes in the
food stamp program. The
changes included reduced
purchase requirement and in
creased bOffos' allotments for
many eligible families.
During March, a total of
118,004 persons in 43 North
Carolina counties received
more than $2.8 million worth of
USDA food stamp coupons. This
was an increase of 17,779 over the
number taking part in the
program during February in 41
counties.
The FNS Southeast regional
office here reports that
another 149,361 persons in 56
counties received around 4.9
million pounds of USDA donated
foods through the family food
distribution program during
March. This was 11,761 less than

the number receiving USDA!
donated foods in February.
The decrease in participation,
FNS officials said, was duel
largely to two counties
Edgecombe and Wayne
switching from the family food
distribution to the food stamp
program starting March 2.
The foods had a retail value of
more than $1.9 million and in-
eluded dairy products, canned
and dried fruits and vegetables,
canned meat or poultry, grain
and cereal products, a well as
other items such as peanut
butter and scrambled egg mix
USDA food assistance
programs are administered by
the Food and Nutrition Service
through state agencies! In North
Carolina, the State Board of
Public Welfare supervises
operation- of the food stamp
program, while the North
Carolina Department of
Agriculture is responsible for the
family food
program.
