Craziness for Food Assistance

Some 2500 Residents show up for free food only to find out it is for registering to get assistance for floods.

Milwaukee County was prepared to deal with some 1000 residents who needed to apply for federal assistance with replacing food lost in the flooding. What they didn't expect was the extra 1500+ people who showed up. Some thought that they were eligible for free food just because they live in Milwaukee County.

There in lies the problem. People taking advantage of the system.
The Program is set up to assist people who truly lost Food in the flooding and the power outages that took place during the recent Weather. Yet there appears to be a part of the population who feel they are just entitled. Taking advantage of the program and quite frankly of OUR TAX Dollars.
