That’s because the food banks give to illegal aliens and don’t require ID from them..although Americans must supply DL and SSN etc to get anything..
So the illegal aliens swarm the food banks carrying off good food for all their mythical children at home while the Americans receive only enough for themselves and the children with them or proven..
the same happens at church outlets where they give away clothes and toys...the illegal aliens claim manifold children and sell those items in yard sales and flee markets..
““I can’t get milk for my child. What are we going to do?”
Vote out the socialists. If by chance theyre holding onto their power through voter fraud, then chase out the socialists with whatever you got handy.
How many of these are illegal aliens who should be back in their home countries growing their own food, instead of sponging off the :U.S. taxpayer.
They are here for the Free Stuff, and we are stupid enough to give it to them.
The mighty government-linked taxpayer of today: big, fat debt/revenues in, debt/revenues out—no net taxpayers but a regime of recirculating debt, yes. It’s an economic regime about to collapse. ;-)
1) basic economics tells us the potential demand for anything free is infinite
2) We are on generation 3 or 4 of the hyper-welfare state. 50 million working-age adult Americans aren’t working, and aren’t looking. Any shame there was in living for free off others, or the government, disappeared 20 years ago. Indeed, many think its their God-given right.
So why is anyone surprised food banks can’t keep their shelves stocked?
So how did things get so bad?
Stupid decisions lead to stupid results, and very soon we will start to pay a very great price for decades of incredibly stupid decisions.
The greatest motivation to man is the inability to:
Eat
Drink
Have shelter
Have transportation
Have medical aid
In today’s society the government provides all!
Here, it’s the 2015’s! Why the hell sould anyone work since the government provides all to the lazy and those who never took the time or effort to improve themselves.
It’s not by accident that this is the way of life today for it was planned many years ago and the seed of Socialism was planted in 1964. Now, it’s time to go out and pick the fruit...Socialists.
Oh please spare me. We have all these campaigns for the supposedly starving blacks here in North Florida, and the whole thing is totally ridiculous and could induce cynicism in even the most politically correct.
Nobody of any color is going to bed hungry...unless they or their parents are totally whacked out on drugs, which does happen and is a completely different question. In that case, take the kids away and feed them...but of course our courts won’t do that.
I'm not buying the basic premise of this article even a little bit.
My daughter used to work as a volunteer in our local Christian food bank. She recently gave it up because 95% of the recipients are illegal aliens who don't speak a word of English.
Kick out the illegals, then private charities and church food banks could easily handle the hunger issues of AMERICANS.
I live in an area where there are very few illegal aliens. I take my elderly aunt to the food bank at the local Catholic church every month. 90% of the recipients are poor, white trash. Mostly single moms. Almost all of them look healthy and physically able to do some sort of work. Not sure about their mental statuses. The disabled people and seniors who go there have to wait until ALL the regular people get served. The regular recipients are assigned a time range to show up for their pickup. Starting at 7:30-11:30. By the time the seniors get called to pick up their order, most of the fresh produce is gone. Fortunately, the non-perishables are prepacked for them. Every year, you are required to show ID, proof of income, and proof of residence. We are fortunate that the local grocery stores are very generous to the local food banks. But it is getting worse every year. More people are seeking aid, and the resources are limited. There is so much food that is wasted in this country. Especially fresh foods.
The day We the People reelected Obama, I recognized we reached the tipping point and officially became a Socialist nation, one that rewards failure and slovenliness and victimization and penalizes success and productivity and creativity. That very day, I quit donating to anyone/anything that crossed my path needing financial assistance, as they can just get in line like all the rest of them for the inevitable vote-buying government handouts confiscated by you and me. My last contribution to an assistance charity was Salvation Army for the Japan Tsunami. Those people were true victims and are not slovenly by any means.
BTT
I wonder if they have any Sichuan peppercorns.
I can’t find those things anywhere.
When I’m out running errands, I often pass by a food bank in a rural area run by some religious group. From the signs posted at the entrance they look like they are only open on certain days and if they have ample food to give away.
On those days people drive up and form a line on the side of the road while waiting for the gate to open at 9 AM. The line usually winds back for half a mile or less from the food bank entrance. This has been the norm for several years.
As I drive down the road toward the food bank I have observed several things as I pass the line. There are usually trucks, cars, even buses filled with adults, kids, grandma, grandpa, and others. It looks like the handouts are given to each person, not each vehicle, which is why the headcount is so large per vehicle. Anyway each vehicle is packed which means a good number of people are needing assistance.
I see most of the vehicles are newer SUVs, trucks, and there were some high dollar luxury vehicles in the mix. Some have expensive after market rims and other items. I always thought I would see a bunch of junkers like my old 1995 Chevy truck, but I never see too many. There are times I’ve seen a motorhome or motorcyle.
The majority of the vehicles have handicap plates or tags hanging from the rearview mirror. What this means I don’t know but some do have empty scooter lifts on their vehicles. (Their scooter must be in the repair shop or someone stole their scooter.)
A lot of people bring lawn chairs to sit outside the vehicle or sit on the vehicle roof or hood until the gate opens and the line starts moving. Most are dressed like ex-WalMart* shoppers. Many are talking on their latest generation cellphones or Obama phones while the kids play games on the old hand-me-down phones and the old folks snooze.
This has been going on for several years and without much change. But I observed something strange last week that changed my heart. The line that morning stretched for miles and miles. I’m talking over the horizon miles. I have never seen such a long line before. I’m sure the food bank must have run out of food and closed the gate long before everyone in line got their handout. It brought a Boehner (tear) to my eye to see so many people willing to wait hours for some food that was probably past it’s expiration date or overripe.
As I passed the food bank, the gate was still locked and people were waiting to enter. I said a prayer for the ones who truly needed assistance (GOD knows) and ask him to bless them.
Folks, something IS happening and we had better get our act together before the SHTF. When the food banks shut down, it’s going to be bad news, particularly in the big urban areas. Lots of people who put their trust in government are going to starve while waiting in FEMA lines for the few MREs stored (among the millions of body bags) in the government warehouses.
Take my advice and stay away from the big cities or you may be on the menu someday.
When my son worked at the local food pantry, he was surprised by the amount of clients who smoked. It was almost half of the clientele.
