A bit of micro economic data I'm just reporting on from my (Catholic) Knights of Columbus Men's Club meeting last night. I find it pretty telling that the recession is beginning to hit main street.

Our St. Vincent De Paul food bank served 256 families in July, 358 families in August, 425 families in September, 468 families in October, and 458 families in November. In the first 3 days of December, we served 100 families already.
