An
ARC owner was approached by a panhandler in the parking lot of Target. The woman claimed to be a single mom living
in a motel at the moment and was receiving a small amount of disability
benefits. It was towards the end of the
month and she was about a week away from receiving her benefits.(She produced
her disabilities papers and ID showing her payments of approx. $800 per month) As she had not yet established South Carolina
residency she was not yet eligible for food stamps. She had spent the last of her money for the
room for her and her two children but had no money for food. She was told that they would not give her
cash but offered to help buy some groceries.
She graciously accepted a gift card to Target for groceries.
Amount: Target
Gift Certificates - $40
