FOOD ASSISTANCE FOR VERMONT SENIORS

The rising price of fuel is taking a big bite out of everyone’s food budget. Help is available for Seniors and retired folks who qualify. The Commodity Supplemental Food Program and the Food Stamp Program are two important food assistance benefits for people over the age of 60. The Commodity program provides a 30 lb box of nutritious food, distributed each month at several locations in Rutland and Bennington Counties. To qualify for Commodities, the monthly income limit for people age 60+ is $1,127 for an individual and $1,517/couple. There is no limit on savings.

 

Food Stamps help people of all ages to eat better. For a person age 65+, the Food Stamp benefit comes as a check, directly deposited into the bank account of the recipient. Those under 65 are issued debit cards with accounts into which the monthly benefit is deposited. Purchases are subtracted each time the card is used to buy groceries. It is easier for older adults to qualify for Food Stamps because their monthly income can be higher that younger folks. There is a $3,000 limit on savings. In determining if a Senior is eligible for the Food Stamp benefit, the following living expenses are taken into consideration: medical/insurance, rent, mortgage, property taxes, home owner’s insurance and utilities.

 

To learn more about these programs and how to apply, call the Senior HelpLine 1-800-642-5119 or 786-5991. Web site www.svcoa@svcoa.org.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHEN GOD CREATES:

“THE THEOLOGY OF THE BODY”

Are “Men from Mars and Women from Venus” really? Or, does our Church’s “Theology of the Body” hold the TRUE key to unlock and understand the mysteries of our complimentary yet distinct natures? Come and See for yourself!! Fr. Thomas Loya, nationally-known speaker on “The Theology of the Body”, will be in the Diocese of Burlington from Wednesday, September 3^rd through Saturday, September 6^th to explore how and why God created men and women with different yet complimentary physical, spiritual and intellectual characteristics. Both married and single people should find this topic insightful and entertaining! He will be in Rutland on Saturday, September 6 from 2:30 – 5:00 PM at Mt. St. Joseph Academy, Admission $5. Sponsored by Marriage, Family & Respect Life Ministries, Diocese of Burlington. For more information, contact Judy Kanya (802) 658-6111 or jkanya@vermontcatholic.org.

A priest was preparing a man who was dying. Whispering firmly, the priest said, “Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!” The dying man said nothing. The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, “Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?” The dying man said, “Until I know where I’m heading, I don’t think I should make him mad.”

 

 

 

IS GOD CALLING YOU?
