[Nancy]
I’m Nancy. I wanted more information about some help that I need.

[McDonald’s]
I can give you a number that will be helpful. You can ask about things like food pantries. Are you on SNAP? SNAP is a supplemental nutritional assistance program - food stamps. Do you have kids?

[Nancy]
Yeah, I have two kids.

[Nancy]

[McDonald’s]
Did you try to get on Medicaid? Medicaid is a federal program. It’s health coverage for low income or no income adults -- and children.

Let me find the number that you can call in Chicago to find help with all of your questions.
