First, I encourage everyone to be extra alert in the coming days and weeks if the Foodsatmp program remains unfunded due to the shutdown (which is what I understand will happen). There is a percentage, perhaps large, of FS recipients who will resort to crime to satisfy their basic need for food. Personally I hope I can help people out if they are in my path.
Anyway, the bigger point.... Walmart and other food corps will take a big hit. It could cause a ripple effect in the economy, as in Black Swan. In fact, I wonder how long before cabal handlers tell Dems to cave because the impact on large corps is too great.
But, maybe this is the match to light the fire... hunger causes humans to cross lines. Perhaps that is why the NG is deployed, too.
Anyway, just thinking about my Anon community and hoping you, your families and friends stay safe, and that we each discern the role we need to play day by day as this unfolds.
Godspeed.
Seriius question here: How exactly, within our own neighborhoods or community, do we identify seniors and handicapped who are going to be hurt by this. Any ideas how to work around privacy issues to know who needs help? The old stories about the elderly eating canned cat food were not fabrications. And it is not at all humorous to be hungry for some meat and cheese and things to mix it into. Protein. Nothing takes it's place.
Churches do help but it is usually a set dollar amount, one time. Or, their food banks. But you cannot go to a regular food bank frequently. Many are once a month only. And in AZ, they are not abundantly stocked, either. It is incredible, the difference, between AZ food pantries and, for instance, Georgia. Holy moley! But then in AZ we know we get the short end of the stick, because, it spends most of it's money paying living expenses for illegals!!! Yes! I hope that is going to change soon.
The Mormon churches do supply food boxes to their members in need, weekly, and you can work at the storehouses, in exchange for the help.
Try actually keeping an eye on your neighbors who are older and living in isolation. You know what else I don't want, is for them to not be able to feed their dog or kitty.
If you have a pet food bank at a rescue in your town maybe they can share clues about what households are hurting. I am grateful for how kind my little town is.
NextDoor is run by libtards but I have noticed that they are networking well.
People who never needed a food bank, can be snotty and superior about people who do. And going to one, can be humiliating and depressing. Worthy people go. And so do free-loaders and fakers. But only God can see the difference.
Wonderful insights. Thanks for posting. I think the faith-based communities could help, and they do help... but... getting the word out to those who are too proud for handouts and yet are truly needy because they have no income except a pitiful social security check is critical. The older generation typically still reads the newspaper. Maybe asking the paper to do a free public service announcement about the available resources in the community would be a good idea.
On the nextdoor app everyone has been sharing this website locally. Looks like it's pretty widespread. https://foodfinder.us/
