20. Several Senators Tried To Start Up The Food Stamp Program After The Program Ended
Even though America remained busy fighting in World War II, many Senators decided to challenge the ending of the food stamp program. First, they felt that families who had members fighting oversearch would need the service. Then Senators stated that American soldiers needed food stamps as they returned home.
The fight to bring back the program continued well into the 1950s when Congresswoman Leonor K. Sullivan tried everything she could think of to get legislation to pass a food stamp act. Unfortunately, several years would pass before the return of food stamps.
