This is the time to use food pantries. The money you save on food, you put that away for an emergency fund.
You know I see so many people recommend this but our pantries are barely able to even keep themselves stocked as it is because we have so many unnecessary people coming here for food or money when they’re driving a new car and living in a brand new house.
Food pantries are supposed to be for people who literally can’t afford food - not for people who just want to save their money.
I disagree. Food banks are for people that can’t afford all their living expenses. Having a bank account down to $2, Yelp that qualifies. And being overdrawn qualifies.
There ARE too many working poor today.
If someone wants to utilize a food bank to save themselves up an emergency fund, stock a pantry with several weeks of food. That would be something to be proud of.
Waiting till you are walking into the ER. because you have been shamed into not accepting a hand up of food is more expensive to society than the help that was being passed out.
Please plan ahead and get help before you run out of money.
We are each the CEO of Me,myself and I, inc. Corporations sometimes get grants or tax breaks to help them grow the business. Feel free to think of the food bank as a tax break or grant.
i agree with you 100%
