Food stamp program expands buying power in Santa Barbara County
In its first year in Santa Barbara County the Food Stamp program boosted purchasing power nearly 100 percent for public assistance recipients and other low income residents. Since opening November 1, 1970 participants spent $1,995,000 to receive coupons worth $3,985,000, a USDA bonus. By October 1971 participation reached 4,850 households (15,080 people) with a $169,733 bonus that month. The program, accepted at 169 outlets, is voluntary and supported by grocers and the county Welfare Department.
