Where I live there are several people who volunteer at local churches that cook one or two meals a weekOn Thursdays, one gentleman drives his Prius up to the clubhouse meeting room and unloads bread donated by the Publix grocery chain.A couple of weeks ago I helped him unload about 100 packages of bread. Usually there is less, but he said they “Only had 81 people” come to the church for a free meal.Sometimes on Saturdays another gentleman brings food from another grocery chain.The bread, cakes, pies, and sometimes half pints of milk are donated to the churches and what is left over is free for anyone here who just goes over to pick it up.
“we’ve started to go the wrong direction and abandon those who truely have no opportunities without help.”
And all the government is doing is finger pointing at putting together effective programs for getting those people trained for a trade or profession to get them productive again. Easier to pour money down the rat hole of the military complex and waste our resources in wars defending people that hate us. The military budget more than doubled from the end of Clinton’s administration until this year. Obama doesn’t get a pass on this one as he’s just perpetuated the middle east conflicts and now wants to put troops in Africa and Australia so we can make a “presence.”
when I was 13 years old I asked why don’t we send them birth control.You feed them in 20 years you got 10 more you have to feed. I am sorry but to me if you want free food you need to be fixed so you can not have kids. this would help the enviorment that is getting destroyed because of to many people. How much of the rain forest has be cleared to feed all the people .This would also go for other people too
I am not a Catholic, but seeing this, is an insult. Regardless of how the Catholic church has been handling certain scandals. This duty of feeding and helping the needy is our duty as good neighbors. One day one of you would end up needing the help of your neighbor and how would you feel being ignored. Is a shame, when someone is trying to do good others laugh, joke around and get paid for it!
