THE WORKING POOR Sun Apr 25, 9:40 AM ET Chicago Tribune yahoo.com By Tim Jones Tribune national correspondent The food line begins to form during the sunrise chill, more than two hours before the metal gates to the Care United Methodist Outreach pantry open. Hundreds of people like Theresa Ware arrive early because they fear the boxes of food stacked in neat rows will be gone by the time they push their rusty grocery carts to the head of the hours-long line. Ware keeps an eye on her watch because she can't afford to be late for work, not even if the reason is to pick up food. "This is a have-to case for us. It's humiliating," said Ware, 49, who makes $7.50 an hour working the afternoon shift at a nursing home. This recent visit was one of two food pantry stops she and her unemployed husband, Rocky, make every month. "We shouldn't have to do this," she said. Theresa and Rocky Ware toil in the ranks of the working poor, a growing category of millions of Americans who play by the rules of the working world and still can't make ends meet. <more>
