DSS Fails Other Families As Well

The following link is from another Letter To The Editor in the Hendersonville Times News.
LETTER 1

It describes an ongoing situation with the Schott family who's head (Robert) is currently in a coma. This family has subsisted solely on his income and there are children involved. Apparently when DSS learned this family was recieving donations from jars placed around Henderson County it took away food stamp benefits for the family. This has angered several people in the community and sparked at least 2 letters to the editor.
LETTER 2 .

This is not the first time that people have complained that they cannot recieve help from DSS, and it certainly won't be the last.

Please remember this when you are considering donating funds to large charities for problems that aren't local. There are many local faith based organizations who are filling in the gap and could desperately use additional funds in order to meet our area's needs.
