Despite struggling to pay for food, Mr. M was skeptical of benefits programs. That changed when a local NCOA benefits counselor took some time to sit with Mr. M and earn his trust. She explained what he was missing out on. Together, they filled out an application for food assistance and other benefits. The counselor even hand-delivered Mr. M’s paperwork to the appropriate office for review.
The results were life-changing. Mr. M now receives monthly food benefits, as well as free transportation and grocery pickup services. |
