Clare House Founder: 'It Is A War On Poor People'

Tina Sipula
/
Clare House

The Clare House food pantry mission is to serve those in need without any judgment. The pantry will close after its Thanksgiving food distribution. Founder and Director Tina Sipula joined Mike McCurdy during Sound Ideas to talk about attempts by some states to legislate what kind of food people can buy as part of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, the ongoing need to feed the hungry in Bloomington-Normal, and  her memories of food recipients and volunteers.
