Our local food bank changed how they give out items. Now you get a shopping cart, walk the aisles, choose a certain number of proteins, vegetables, healthcare items, etc., take it to the checkout and bag it. It might not always be great stuff but at least you get a choice…
Comment on went to the local food bank today
unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 5 days agonot complaining, friend. I do love to be critical, and I do wish they had asked if I wanted any toys. I now have several boxes of cornbread mix, among other weird shit from them – that does qualify as food.
when i was staying in a homeless shelter and i was halfway out of the shower one day i literally caught one of the same food bank guys fishing his insanely skeleton-like fingers through my little homeless man bag of toiletries. Also that man wears adult diapers and dumps them in the public fucking trash. Creepy fucking ghoul.

it’s such a difference when you are a rando who can survive on a bigass bag of beans versus a single parent with multiple kids – that was my original point. fucking silly they gave me this huge box of crap and the only thing food-like is potatoes.

When we have things such as toys, or baby food we put it to the side and ask people if they need it because we know not everyone has kids.

yeah all ya’ll are badass, especially because it’s super important to help children in all their weird developments
