Hurricane Ike: Disaster Food Stamp Locations/Phone

Update:  October 14, 2008.  To all who have commented about receiving assistance from Fema or from the food stamp office please try contacting your local city council person or the mayor’s office for assistance.  I sympathize with your problem.  Keep trying to get through on the phone lines.
