Did you receive your first stimulus check at the beginning of this pandemic?

For many throughout the country, this payment was received quite easily. But for those without bank accounts or whose income has been so low that the IRS doesn’t even require taxes to be filed or who have other extenuating circumstances, receiving this benefit requires a lot more work. And without access to the internet, it can seem impossible.

Similarly, when Baltimore City Public Schools free lunch program decided to provide food benefits directly to students’ families in the form of a Maryland EBT card for groceries, actually activating these cards caused confusion all across the city, making these benefits seem inaccessible to many.

No one has all of the answers, but working together with each other, scores of residents from Sandtown-Winchester have been able to take advantage of the very help that they were intended to receive.
