Q: Find out who your local government policy makers are and tell them about the need to end child labor, both domestically and internationally. Media is an effective tool to reach a large number of people and to share your message. Get involved with local newspapers and magazines by writing columns or op-ed pieces about anti-child labor activism. If you are artistically inclined, considered integrating child labor issues into your next song, poem, short story, or art piece as a way to spread awareness. Many of our daily consumables are made in unethical ways, including the use of child labor. Take a little extra time to find out how your clothes and food are made. Don't buy from a company that is known to use child labor. Look for products with Fair Trade logos or that are made with sweatshop-free labor. Consider adding an application to your smartphone or mobile device that helps you search for Fair Trade and ethical products while you're shopping. Passion can be contagious, so share your interest with your friends, family, coworkers, and anyone willing to listen. You're making a difference just by caring and hopefully others will take notice and be inspired to do the same!
A: Send letters and emails. Make your point through media. Be a mindful consumer. Be the change.

Q: If your state does not offer online SNAP (food stamp) services, contact customer service and have them check your balance for you, or give you advice on how to check it in your state. You can find toll-free numbers to call listed at the USDA website, along with websites that may include online customer service. Call the number listed under "Client" to ask about your balance. The number listed under "Retailer" is for stores who accept food stamps as payment. Search online for "EBT contact" and the name of your state. The number listed should be the same as the one you've already called, but the information may also include a physical office look-up, or contact info for a related service that may be able to help, such as the Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC). Your remaining balance is typically printed on your receipt when you pay with your benefits card. If you do not have this, make a small purchase using your benefits card, and ask the cashier for the receipt. The receipt may print this information under "EBT balance," "SNAP balance," or the name of the state-specific program (such as Quest or CalFresh). The amount of time it takes to receive your first SNAP (food stamp) payment depends on your state. You should always receive it within 30 days of your application being filed, or within 7 days if your income is low enough to qualify for rapid assistance. Your caseworker, or person who filed your SNAP application, should be able to give you more information on its status. If you want to find out whether this months' food stamp balance has been distributed, you can check the schedule online without an account. Visit the federal SNAP website and click the name of the state that issued your benefits card. Typically, states assign benefits between the 1st and 10th of every month, depending on the number written on your benefits card.
A:
Check your balance through customer service. Find alternate numbers or physical office locations. Look at a receipt from a food stamp purchase. Contact your caseworker about a new benefits card. Check the release schedule online.
