On the 1st of November each year, I set a box aside and start collecting items to donate to my Food Pantry. My donation stays LOCAL and no one is skimming $ off the top. The bulk of my donation gets into the hands of those that really need it.
As well as a nice donation to Free Republic this holiday season, see if you can help your local food pantry, too. Thanks! :)
It’s jarring to see the number of obese families arriving to collect their free food while driving late model Mercedes, BMW or Cadillac Escalades. Makes me question the “need”.
Family members in public education see the same pattern when “free” school supplies are distributed. Parents with $100 nails, $1000 weaves and driving new Cadillacs there to pick up “free” donated school supplies.
