Agency Offers Emergency Food Aid

The D.C. Department of Human Services has set up a one-week emergency

food

stamp program, totaling about $4 million in federal aid, for District

residents who lost food during Hurricane Isabel. Current food stamp

recipients will receive half of their monthly allotment to compensate

for

food lost during the storm, and those who lost income or had to buy

emergency goods can receive special assistance to purchase food. New

applicants for food stamps will also get one month of benefit

distributed

until Oct. 6 at seven service centers run by the Departments’ Income

Maintenance Administration: 508 Kennedy St. NW, 5 N St. NE, 645 H St.

NE;

3917 Minnesota Ave. NE; 3851 Alabama Ave. SE; 400 South Capitol St. NW;

and

2100 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE. The agency’s food stamp customer

service hotline is 202-724-5506.
