I volunteer at a food bank, everything we get is donated. Sometimes we have great stuff to give out, sometimes we have garbage.
At least you were able to get some thing.
I had literally typed up basically this exact comment, then deleted it because I figured they were just venting and it wouldn't be helpful, and then I came back because I wanted to make sure people understood that food banks aren't generally run by the government. They're nonprofits, but there is no minimum amount they are allocated. Since they mostly run off donations, and the economy is so terrible for everyone, it makes sense that they are hurting too. I'm sorry to hear they didn't have more, but often the things they do have are the little others can spare or staples that make sense to purchase with the little money they get. I'm glad you commented though because I'm not sure I would have made a top level comment about this, but imho it's worth mentioning. The people at the food banks really are trying their best to help.
not 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.
this is what they give you. tthi assuming it still won't upload, i went to the food bank got a ton of cheesy cringy little toy things, pretty cool toys honestly, from an adult persprective. fucking inedible..
rest of it was fast food packets of honey, box of cereal, box of spahge, bag of potat.
Bag of potat is badass compared to a pile of fucking fruit roll ups
Thanks for letting us know. Are you ok?
