I agree. We just fed 125 people yesterday. Many of us donated the food. Many of these people are homeless, have no money for food, or are mentally ill. All are verified as needy. I packed many plates for them to take home for supper, and included in each package places that were having Thanksgiving dinners. I find it ignorant to talk down to the folks who have nothing and are hungry. I'm not in favor of the government handing them food stamps, but am all for people who can, helping people who can't. This isn't about government, but about hungry people. Work in a charitable organization, and you will see a lot of things you didn't previously know.
My wife went to church this morning and helped feed a bunch of people. There’s no question these folks need assistance. It mostly comes from individuals and local stores, but there is some government food as well. But the government portion is way, way down, so the church is trying to make up the difference.
