to other local organizations that perform these functions. Each State sets criteria for determining what households are eligible to receive food for home consumption. Income standards may, at the State’s dis-
cretion, be met through participation in other existing Federal, State, or local food, health, or welfare programs for which eligibility is based on income. Call 734-721-4470 to find the nearest center to you!
