Food Banks Unprepared for Millions of Americans

Food banks say they are wholly unprepared to feed millions of Americans when Republicans' cuts to traditional federal safety net programs take effect.

According to Feeding America, the cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) alone would eliminate 6 billion to 9 billion meals annually " roughly the same number of meals the food bank network provided last year. Those food banks would need to double their operations to close the gap SNAP leaves behind. What did poor Americans do to deserve this?

Trump's going to hold yet another Record.... Highest US Presidential Death Toll, in Country Vs.

Of course, it's only going to maybe beat out his Covid Response Death Toll.

Not to worry, Boaz donates to his local charity.

Problem solved.

Interesting that Americans chose not to remember the reality of Trump's last breadlines.

I wonder if the experience will make an impression now?

Especially for MAGA, who will be affected most.

FAFO.

Approximately 74% of adults in the U.S. are either overweight or obese, according to the CDC. This includes nearly 43% who are considered obese.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.

Like Trump, you have no shame.

tldr: Biden's inflation has caused food banks to lose all of their money and Trump is making it worse by cutting a lot of funding to people who don't want to be productive members of society.

Reading anything else into it means you are being biased.

the food bank I work with is warning homes

for older people that they need more

participation or they'll be dropped.

--but then I don't live in a blue state.

It's too bad that all of the food designated for USAID ended up rotting...
