I wrote a hub about using the food shelves and the great need for them.
I use them when I need it.
Have you used them?
Many years ago. My X by 2, had gambled the mortgage payments away. I didn't find out till the house was about to be repossessed. My son was only four months old at the time. I dumped my fella, rented some really crappy accommodation and was harassed for months by bailiffs for debts I didn't even know we had. I went to the food bank and they really helped me at the worst time. I'm very fortunate, I don't need a food bank now, but I know that lots of other people do and they shouldn't feel bad about it. Life throws these things at you, but you get through.
I love the idea of the US having Food Banks. In the Philippines, we have nothing, absolutely nothing to compare with that. Our urban poor could really benefit from a lot of the social welfare services you have. I hope someday the Philippines will also have things like Food Banks to help our people.

For the first time in 13 years, my kids are spending Thanksgiving (or any other) day with their Dad all together in Florida. That leaves me all be my lonesome. I've already spoken to folks about working at a local food bank for part of that day, but any other suggestions on how to make it festive?

Well, my mother announced that I and her are moving to the Philippines in 2-3 years. I have read a lot about negative things about it and laughed it off because I currently do a network marketing business. Even if we reach top positions, we will move there.I am not really that thrilled about the...

I had to go yesterday. I'm broke. It was way better than I thought it would be, with lots of veggies and fruits,and even three different kinds of meat. I didn't get a bunch of dented cans of beans like I thought I would get.

I am posting this on here because if I call up any of my girlfriends they'll scream at me "OH MY GOD...just ignore it". hahahahaha They heard plenty about this guy back in the day. I simply can't put them through this again. Plus, it might be good to have some other opinions that aren't...
