Fulton County Expo



Our last of three planned Expos was on Tuesday, this one in Fulton County.

It was held at Open Door of Delta, an awesome community resource that offers a little bit of everything -- OBB site, thrift store, food pantry, shelter, job board, and more. They even already had the room arranged so that it took us only a total of about 5 minutes to set up for the event, which was nice.

We had a great turnout -- 12 people at the first session and 4 at the second -- and some solid interest in becoming new sites. Yay!

The only slight hitch was during the final session, when we had a mini-debate with one of the guests, who seemed a bit peeved that food stamps don't have a time limit attached to them. But I shouldn't even call that a hitch. It's a valid question and it was a respectful discussion.
