I used to help a family of a prostitute. She was on food stamps. I tried teaching her how to shop but it did not help. She needed the food bank at one point and i took her there. Fast forward- my family manages a local food bank. Our donations are just that. We have so many people of various backgrounds and they have access to healthy foods - not as much fresh produce that we would like to see. We serve people weekly. Most of the families we help are multi generational households. Grandparents fostering or raising grandchildren. Snap and food banks are necessary. If you have the extra time or resources consider helping the less fortunate.

The Backdoor Trick That Empties the Lunch Line

There’s a free lunch site in our neighborhood that’s supposed to open at 12 p.m. sharp. But for the last few weeks, by the time the clock hits noon, the staff is already saying, “We’re out for today.” Turns out a few people have been sneaking through the back door half an hour early, and since volunteers don’t want conflict, they walk out with three or four meals each. Those of us waiting in the real line get nothing but frustration. Sometimes silent cheating feels worse than obvious stealing. #FoodInsecurity #LunchProgram #CommunitySupport #LocalIssues
