Met this little one at the produce distribution in Huron, Ohio where 150 people gathered to receive fresh veggies and fruit to supplement their food budgets. After talking with folks in line, the biggest a-ha moment was sharing the Medicare Extra Help information. Seniors paying a premium for health benefits may be eligible to have it paid for if they are under a certain income and have few liquid assets in the bank. Several people who attended the distribution were either eligible or knew someone who was eligible. We were able to suggest other resources to those who needed housing, clothing as well as utility assistance. It is always nice to see families receiving fresh, wholesome food grown locally. This was one of six distributions during this harvest.
