Wilmington initiative doubles EBT benefits for residents

Grocery dollars don't stretch like they used to. However, for low-income families at the Wilmington Farmers Market, their dollar goes just a bit further thanks to the "Double Bucks" program, which doubles SNAP/EBT benefits for shoppers. The program is paid for through local community fundraising.

Spring celebrations have a steep price this year

Each visit to my local supermarket is startling. The prices of milk, meat, and other basics seem to be skyrocketing. It doesn’t take much digging to find out that food prices have risen in the last three years at highest rate since the Great Inflation of 1979-1983.
