Nothing like folks high on the mountain doing studies about the real little folk. Many SNAP and Food Stamp recipients (the legitimate ones) don’t have terrific, or any cars. The grocery stores aren’t in their neighborhoods. They take public transportation out to a nearby suburb to a grocery store on the bus route once a month to do grocery shopping.

This is a remote area with many people are total hermits by choice-so both my parish church and the Methodist church out here have volunteers who take those who don’t drive or have a vehicle/are disabled to get groceries at either the nearest grocery or to the big box-their choice-on the weekends. In the 6-road area where I live, there are 10 of us who take turns taking our neighbors who are disabled or without a vehicle to buy groceries once per week-I take them with me on my grocery day, if they want to go-if they don’t/can’t go to the store, then one of us will take their list and get their stuff-either way, we carry in their groceries and help put them away if they want us to-we call it just looking out for each other...
