* Re “A Welfare Win/Win,” editorial, Aug. 3: It really isn’t “astonishing” that the Manpower Demonstration Research Corp. report found that more children are going hungry as a result of welfare reform. More and more working families earning low wages are having difficulty making ends meet, which is why the county’s new food stamp outreach program is so important. Having a job does not guarantee that you are able to put food on the table. Many low-income families continue to need assistance from charities; yet even with this help, some children and adults are still going hungry.
