my heart breaks for families struggling to survive when the parents are unemployed, or so dramatically underemployed that they still can’t pay the bills.
Church food pantries are always a place to start, and there are programs such as Angel Foods ministry that provides food for a nominal fee that is enough to feed a family of 4 for a month.
My church has a large box in the back that we put our unused coupons into and we encourage ANYONE to come and take as many of those as they need.
As for my extended family, we have let them know that they can always count on us and to let us know if they ever need anything. We (my family and my husband’s) have always taken care of our own and will continue to do so...
God Bless this country in our hour of need!
By the Grace of God I have never felt any real deprivation and was able to raise my own family with few financial concerns other than nuisance ones. When my wife and I were first married we had no money but it didn’t matter much since we had no kids and didn’t need much.
I feel for these families and can only encourage them to hang on until we vote the National Nightmare out of office in a month.
Isn’t Angel Foods ministry out of business?
I had a neighbor that used them for a time, but I think they are no more.
Pity.
