Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Maybe every dime going into SNAP should be sent to food pantries instead. The funds should actually buy food and make the people physically go in person to pick up the food. No more selling their SNAP benefits to the black market so the recipients can get their hair & nails done, no more money for weed or eyelashes and tattoos or to spend on their next baby daddy.

i love how world hunger could be cured a couple of times over but the uber rich, who would feel maybe not even a dent, are like "nah we're good"

This is sad. And to think weird bitches like @JBro12179 assume everyone on snap is getting food stamps and spending them at a corner store. He’d rather call out poor people than his president that’s sending 40 billion to a different country 😭 imbecile

These people are not our problem.
🚨WOW “59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government & the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.” “we can confirm tonight that millions of illegal aliens…are now collecting food stamps”

I’m gonna go eat meals at like Saint Francis church in downtown Boston and Emmanuel church and then women’s luncheon on 67 Newberry St. and then the West End church and then the church on the hill if you’re queer though you can’t go to the Salvation Army in Central Square in Cambridge because it’s not really welcoming

Democrats voted 12 times to keep government closed.

SNAP caused this disparity. Its literally the cause of food banks not being able to fulfill this mission.

Cruelty is not a program of governance. It isn't capitalism. It's simple cruelty. Feeding the hungry isn't socialism. It's not even Christianity. It's plain good governance. There's a special place in hell for those who not only fail to feed the hungry but seek to starve them.

We have a small food bank in the town where I live 2300 people. The line of working age people waiting for food goes around the block.

Notice how they can siphon trillions of dollars in an instant yet won't take 1% of that to feed people who pay into the system.

I go grocery shopping every Friday and pay with hard earned money. Why is that so hard to process?

Sounds easy. I'll be giving to my local food bank this week. Food banks are significantly more cost efficient than another government program riddled with fraud, abuse, and freeloaders.

Then get out to your donors and make it happen. If people are in genuine need you can get donations.

Good. Hunger might motivate some to get off their asses and work, and others to self deport. No more career handouts!!!

Well-to-do Democrats better start donating food to churches and their local animal shelters. Where's BLM? They're worth millions. Where's Sharpton and Lemon? They're worth over $20 million together. I see libs all the time funding ridiculous things through gofundme. Get busy.
