Astro van and beat up Grand Caravan.
Reminds me of a thanksgiving food give away we had at our church.
Remember, our church is in an economically depressed urban area near Detroit.
packed grocery bags all day Saturday and opened the doors on Sunday afternoon.
1 bag per person; dry goods and prepacked fruit.
Cadillac Escalade drives in and 6 ladies step out.
They go in and receive a bag each.
I notice they were taking stock of the number of bags left.
They leave and then 4 return individually in cars.
I don’t begrudge their need not the real possibility they are shuttling those groceries to needy friends who can’t get out.
Optics matter.

Well, free is free, right? The choice the food pantry made to not have “qualifiers “ for the groceries is on them.
