I should have connected that it was a New Deal program.

Hi, Toia,

Yes, my great grandfather was part of the Civilian Conservation Corps. He found work with FDR's program and, therefore, the $25 a month he sent home provided food for his mother and younger siblings. While many families probably would have starved, thanks to FDR's New Deal program, my great grandfather, his family, and many others like them were able to survive the Great Depression.
