The Growing Problem
The West End of Providence is the city's -- and the state's -- most economically distressed neighborhood. The jobless rate among its largely Hispanic population tops 20 percent; it is by most estimates the most dangerous part of the city. Hidden in the West End are the elderly hungry, whose "food insecurity" is reflected in the number of people who rely on the federal SNAP program (formerly food stamps) to Meals on Wheels, congregate meals sites at senior centers and neighborhood food pantries.
