      This girl was going hungry because her mom didn't even know how to sign up for food stamps. How many other people are like this, and how do we reach them all??https://apple.news/Ao2IAXFroQleyEEGVvAHlJA …

      This exact problem is why we funded mRelief, to help people navigate signing up for food stamps. They are amazingly effective. Every $1 you donate to mRelief gets $114 for people in need. https://mrelief.com

          That said, the reason it's so hard to sign up for food stamps is often because politicians deliberately make it hard to get food stamps, so it's worth fighting that issue as well.

          To be honest, the bureaucrats seem to be worse than the politicians. The procedures involved here are an extreme instance of Hanlon's Razor. But sticking a new UI on the front can fix much of the problem.

          Donated to mrelief. One suggested UI tweak is to have “Donate” button at the top of the page. I wasn’t sure if the zip code was for me as a donor.
