I am just curious as to if anyone in here has ever been a part of one of the distributions where they give free bags of food to low income people. Usually it is people who are already drawing food stamps. Not really sure what you have to do to qualify. But anyway. Working in one of these events is an eye opening thing.
The rule is ONE bag/box of food per house hold. You have people who come in trying to get a bag/box for each person when they are all at the same address (just trying to get more)
And they stand there and complain loudly because chairs should have been provided for them to sit in
They food isn't what they want. They should give me this or this.
The bag/box is not enough (it is at least 40 pounds of things like canned foods, dry beans, rice, and stuff like that. No they aren't gonna give you 3 boxes of ding dongs.
They had a couple of deputies there for whatever reason. Just helping out I guess. And he actually threatened to tell a couple of women to leave because they were being loud and obnoxous and refused to make a break in the line to let someone thru. Not trying to get in front of them just cross from one side of the line to the other side.
I figure this is available in every county in the country. Every state has a food stamp program. Not every one complains and some are thankful for the items they get. I guess it just surprises me at how ungrateful people are. If somebody gave me 40 pounds of food for FREE I would be thankful.
It just amazes me at how people with their hand out think everybody owes them something. And whatever they get is not enough and they want more. I am like would you like for me to carry it to your house, put it away in your cabinets, and come back and cook it for you???? ::)

I volunteer now and then at the local food bank. A lot of the people that come through are pretty ungrateful. (not all of them) . Then they"d take their bag of "crap" (that's what some of them called it) and go to another food bank a few towns over. smh
-
See that makes me mad. This isn't really a food bank. It is a distribution that happens every 3 months. We do have several food banks here in town. It is the same people who go to all of them. The one you can only go once a month. This man was complaining about it. What they give you is suppose to last a month. He said well "I" can eat that in ONE week.
Well YOU need to get a job and pay for your own food!
I have talked to others who have volunteered in different places that give away food and they all say the same thing. And you are right they say they stuff they get is crap. And unfortunately you can not say out loud well then why are you here? Get a job and buy your own crap!
And you are correct, it is not all of them. Some are happy to get what they can. And I assume those are the people who really need it. If you are hungry, really hungry, and you don't have the money to buy anything to eat, then you would be happy with a bag of pinto beans. With some cans of fruit or vegetables, or 4 jars of peanut butter. Heck the peanut butter alone was worth $30. That stuff is expensive.

You can't control the actions of others. You're doing what's right by helping those really in need along with the ingrates that straggle in with them. So pat yourself on the back for that and steel yourself against those ungrateful folks.
At least they're ungrateful Americans and not ungrateful illegal aliens. ::)

In my State, it is called: Food Bank of Alaska. It is all donated by Carrs, Walmart,
Fred Meyer and many other food stores before expiration date. And, yes...it is all free!

:cat: I don't know exactly what this is or if it is available where I live. I can provide my own food thank goodness so I wouldn't do it anyway. Now in 2008 when the financial world hit the fan so to speak and I had to go on disability at the same time we went through some tough times and had to go several times to a church food bank. We got some rough food moldy bread out of date food but we never complained - if we got something inedible we just didn't eat it. Now s for chairs I can't stand for more than a couple of minutes and can hardly walk but if I were somewhere like that and I couldn't do what I needed to do I would leave, not complain.

Are you ok?

I work at the pantry here in town and we have a free food bank within our ministry and I noticed that All can’t come in some who are really in desperate need and some I think just come to get the free food so they can buy cigarettes and beer with their money it’s a sad process but we don’t say no to anyone

Like I said this only happens 4 times a year. It is quarterly. And you actually can have someone pick up your bag/box you just have to have a paper stating that someone can pick it up for you. Your name is on a register and you have to sign when you pick up your box. That way the same person can't get it all day several times.
It isn't really a food bank. We do have several in our town that are food banks and as far as I know you can go when ever you want. But like I said, it is the same people and most of them complain because it isn't good enough.
You are right though, if somebody gave me something, and I was in need I would take it and be happy.
I would be upset if I was given outdated stuff. I remember a few years ago a church I attended we made Thanksgiving baskets. They were given thru church members. People would turn in a name of someone in need.
We knew how many baskets we were going to make and members brought stuff in. For ex we took mac and cheese so we went and bought NEW Velveeta shells and cheese enough for each box to have one. One of the richest women in the church brought random crap from her kitchen with one of the items being a box of pistachio pudding. I just thought that was wrong. First WHO eats pudding for Thanksgiving and who eats that nasty flavor lol.
-
My spouse LOVES pistachio pudding. LOL
-
we have a food bank near our house and they are open 2 days a week. They are always packed with people getting there way before the doors open, I think you can only get food every 3 months and you have to have proof of household number.
-
We live in a rural area and every week they line up to get food, it is always packed you, part of the time you can not even get down the road.
-
My spouse LOVES pistachio pudding. LOL
Really? lol Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. I personally just thought it was not a good thing to bring. Esp since she just cleaned her cabinets out bringing what she didn't want.
I was the one who separated the stuff out into piles. Like the potatoes, the mac and cheese. They were suppose to bring things that did not require a lot of additional things to make. Since these boxes were going to people who were in need and most likely would not have the stuff to make something. For example a cake mix...you need eggs and oil. Some people may not have that.

Yeah the place I was a part of they have to tell an income. They don't really have to prove anything as far as I know. If they have a food stamp card they show that. I saw people who were just there and didn't get food stamps I think they had to fill out a paper and state a monthly income.
-
Well when you are struggling youvtry to get more it all gets eaten. I didn't know we a usa citizen needed to be a part of sharing our resourses and be happy about it.

I have volunteered at a great many places and distributing boxes of food was one quarter's volunteer day. Yes, there are people who gripe but I took it in stride. Many of these people have had a rough life. It is not easy to ask for assistance, be bankrupt, have no home, explain to your children why you need to reach out to others for food/clothing/housing, not being able to find a job. They may not have clothes that allow them to get higher paying jobs. Low paying jobs do not allow the luxury of day care expenses and finding people to watch your children is not the easiest thing in the world to do. They may feel trapped, lost their pride, might be sick...there are any number of reasons why they may be needing assistance. When volunteering, it is not our job to judge but to give them what they need with a warm, love filled smile and hope that their luck changes.
-
I volunteered to work at one of these food banks once. Yes, it was only one bag per family. I believe it is still around. There are a lot of homeless, hungry people around here in Orlando, FL.

I am not judging anybody. I am familiar with the people in my area. There are more lazy bums just looking for a hand out than people who really need help. The point is if you are asking for a hand out then you don't need to snarl about what you are given. Most of these people are not looking for jobs. I guess it depends on where you live.
And not having a job doesn't have anything to do with their clothes. These people stand there talking on the latest model smart phone while griping about the free food they are getting. If you can afford a $800 phone and the plan that goes with it then I don't figure you are too needy.

How are homeless people suppose to cook dry beans and heat canned food? Just curious. I remember a while back somebody was talking about fixing like grab bags to hand out to the homeless and one of the items she said she always puts in there is a pack of ramen noodle soup. What are they suppose to do with that? How are they going to cook ramen noodles when they are homeless?
I am sure there are food banks in about every county in the country. The thing that upsets me is a lot of the people who go are not really in need. The ones who are really in need will not ask for help. They work and they get by the best they can.
-
I am apart of our Food Pantry ministry, I am in charge of the paperwork, I sign them in and out, they go get their bags and leave, we have never had anyone complain, but I have had some come in who are in the same household, I tell them only one bag per household, and they are okay with it, don't really have a choice, it's the rules. but at times we give more than one bag, depending on the amount of people that come in that morning, give or take. We have one coming up this Saturday.
-
We have a food pantry in our town, but I've never volunteered. I have an acquaintance who gets free food there. One time she gave me a pound of hamburger because she didn't eat beef. I was thrilled to get a free pound of hamburger. Then I felt guilty about taking something I could afford to pay for.

During High School I did it once for volunteer work all I did was just hand it out and check on the tables to see if anyone wanted seconds and such.
-
When I was on food stamps I registered with an organization that was 45 minutes away. They receive donations from grocery stores and some coffee shops. I had to prove (ie: ebt card) I could spend as much as I wanted and they accepted the link card. They had a warehouse set up like a grocery store. Everything there is hodge podge. The grocery carts, refrigeration, freezers... and there is no air conditioning in there. So it was best to show up early. I do know people that want more and more. And they don't want to pay for it. It makes me sick when I see them driving better cars, having the latest phones etc... knowing I worked my tail off to get off of government assistance.

I am not talking about a come and eat cooked food like a food kitchen. I am talking about where you go and get 40 plus pounds of free canned food and stuff like that to take home and put in your kitchen and cook it yourself.

I don't understand. You show them your EBT card then you can spend as much as you want? Meaning you get all the food you want for free? Maybe I am not understanding. In my county you are suppose to prove income. Most people show an EBT card but everyone gets the same thing. 1 bag/box of the same stuff. Nobody gets more or less than any one else.
When you apply for food stamps it does not go by what kind of car you drive (you are allowed to have a car) not the kind of phone you have (you are allowed to count so much for a phone). Although if your car payment is 3x somebody else's or your phone bill is way more (because you are paying on the latest iPhone) you do qualify for more food stamps because you have less income. They take your income and then take off for house payment/rent, phone bill, electric, and on and on. So if in the summer you keep your house 65 degrees and wear a hoodie in side you get more food stamps than the person who struggles to pay electric bill and keeps it 75 in their house because they cannot afford to keep it really cool
It's messed up that is for sure.

I volunteer here in our Ministry, Not only do we give away food but clothing. I am in charge of the food dept. and the receiving area where we receive donations of clothing, household goods and other goods like bedding. Everyone's allotted 5 items a month and in the grocery area we let them pick out what they want, but their is an allotment on how many items they can get. With everything it runs around 35-40 lbs. depending on what we have, We are not dependent on on the government. But on donations. A lot of the clothing is boxed up and sent to a receiving house and they pay us for it and then we in turn buy groceries with it from an outlet that buys out grocery stores. all in allit works out great and since we are small city we only have about 600 cards to fill. If we need to we will sign up more. We have had as many as 900. A job folks and is all volunteer.

I have never had to get free food. I agree that when you give someone something, they will always want more. We live in a very greedy society. Sad, but true.

Some people are actually grateful for what they get. But it amazes me that the majority always want more.
We had a Bible School for our preschool Sunday School class and we gave one of the kids a prize for something and he looked at it and said "I don't want that. Can I have something else". smh I gave him a talking to. I told him if someone gives you something you need to say thank you. Not I don't want this. I want something else.
It's no wonder people are to the point they do not want to help others any longer.
-
wow..unfortunately is happens a lot...not sure what qualifies in them..but my son in laws mother has told me to go to a church and get food..told her we were fine...and she talks about everything they give..which is a lot...i would be grateful if it was me...

There is a church here locally that gives food away. The deal is you can go once a month. But they do the thing every week. I think you have to show ID because people are greedy. I have heard you get ground beef and all kinds of good stuff. I don't think you have to prove income or anything. Maybe write it down but they don't check. I know people who go and they have a lot more money than I do.
The one guy that was at the other thing was the one saying how he goes to that too. Goes to all of them. And was complaining cause he could only go once a month and said well I can eat all that in one week.
I had to restrain myself to not say well it is not their fault you are a pig. He clearly had not missed any meals.

I have worked at a food kitchen a few times. Makes me fell very lucky.

I have never been in a food kitchen. I am talking about something more like a pantry. Not somewhere you walk in a eat a free hot meal. Not sure how it is in other towns but a lot of people who went to the one we had here were some of the richest people in the county.
Last I heard ours had closed down. Lot of rumors about what is going on. I know they are being sued. And a judge ruled with the party suing them. They are challenging the ruling. So I don't even know if they are still open at all.
-
I have not been to a food bank in years...The schools in my neighborhood keep weekly food bank...
-
I have never been a recipient, but I have volunteered at a food bank. It was a long time ago, but it was items like a 3 pound bag of potatoes (that's what I clearly remember) and other non-perishables. I don't remember people being greedy or upset with what they received, however.

Well at this one you can't really be greedy. You get ONE bag/box and that is it. We do have people try to get more. It is 4 times a year and changes each quarter. I know this last time there was like 3-4 jars of peanut butter. And I remember seeing rice and dry beans. And canned stuff.
I def remember people complaining. About everything. haha

My neighbor goes to food give a ways. She said some people get there 6 hours before it is open. And then they complain about not getting enough.

I don't feel desperate enough to go pick up boxes of free food, but the other day we did go to Taco Bell to take advantage of the, "Steal a game, steal a taco" promotion for the NBA Playoffs where they gave away free Tacos when a team won an away game. What surprised me was they would give you up to 8 tacos for free and if you were over 55 you could get a free drink with it. I like Taco Bell anyway, so it was a sweet bonus.

How come they gave you up to 8 free tacos for being over 55. I have done that before but I got 1. lol.
Heck 8 tacos could feed 4 people if they aren't pigs. :D

The free drink was for being over 55 and it was refillable as much as you like. The up to 8 free tacos was because a team in the NBA Playoffs won a game away from home, hence the, "Steal a game, steal a taco" slogan.

But usually it is ONE taco not 8. That was the question. 8 free tacos to everyone who comes in and asks seems like a lot and very costly. I go in with a family of 6 and we each get 8 tacos that is 48 tacos. People do that all day long that would prove to be really costly.
I remember a few years ago they done something like that and I think the Doritos taco was what they gave away. But you could only get one. Some people even tried to leave and come right back in to get a second one and they would not give them but the 1.
I did not know you could get a free drink if you are over 55. Wonder if that is just your location or all of them. They don't advertise it.

I remember the Doritto Taco giveaway and we just went to several stores. The free senior drink is location specific and some stores near us have it and others don't. We just know which ones, since we are Taco Bell Fans.

My experience was completely different. It was sponsored by our church. Everyone checked in, went through a prayer conference and on to get their food. I saw some very sad people but not the complaints you experienced.

There is a church that does like a bread basket thing. There are a couple of people there who complain because they have to stand there or if they limit certain items which some times they do (so there is enough for everyone to get some). They have snack stuff and they usually only allow 2 per household. Because people will come in with 6 kids and try to get 2 for them and 2 for each kid. Amazes me. But most people are at least nice even if they do not really appreciate it. I guess the ones who complain just stick out in your mind more.

dobt see it much where i live.

You may just not be aware of it. I was actually surprised to find out all of the freebies the lazy can get. There are tons of food banks in my county that I never knew existed. All kinds of stuff they can get for free. I learned a lot from this experience. Why would anybody try to do better when they can get more for free not working that the people who work.
I heard a guy a couple weeks ago talking about these people on welfare and trying to get them jobs. I am like they don't want jobs. Talk to them. They will tell you. I have to be paid in cash or I can only work 8 hours a week so it doesn't mess my check up. Their government check. Oh I can't make over this much or it will decrease my food stamps. They know exactly how much they can make to still qualify for all the free stuff. It outrages me. And the elderly who may really need help are not usually getting it. Then there is one guy who is in line for every free thing coming and going and he is at the top of the list as far as income earners.
-
I haven't worked in a food pantry or the giveaway events. Many people are needy and appreciate the help.
BUT, then we have the lazy, "I deserve this", greedy people who know how to work the system who make me want to NOT donate.
I don't have any ideas on how to fix "the system", but when people getting assistance due to my tax dollars earn more than I do working overtime and running myself ragged, SOMETHING needs fixing!

Exactly! That is what makes me so mad. And they do not even appreciate what they get. They all but hand it back and say I don't want this can I have something else. They should give us meat. Well get a job and buy your own meat. A lot of working folks cannot afford to eat meat!
-
So many people have forgotten what gratitude is. Or at the very least "beggars can't be choosers". I've been on both sides giving and receiving.

I used to go to the local food pantry, my family really appreciate the food, no matter how small the amont...

It took all I had in me to not say that. lol

And that is great. A lot of people are thankful for what they get. Just amazes me and the people who grumble and complain and say they should give me this or this. They should provide a chair for me to sit in because I am too lazy to stand here to get a big bag of food for FREE. And if you bought it at the grocery store it would cost at least $50 or more.
-
We just picked up a couple of bags of food at a local event. We aren't on food stamps but my husband doesn't make enough for us to live on, really. I am thankful for whatever I can use from the bags. There's always stuff we don't like that we, usually, redonate to other food pantries or ask around to see if anyone we know would use it. There are many ungrateful people in the world. I believe we will see more and more of that as God is pushed farther and farther out of our society.
-
I wish someone give me free food. I think people who complain calling free food crap should be told to leave the area without getting anything at all!
-
I don't like that much free food.
-
I call self-entitlement. Coincidentally, I was watching CNN this morning, and it showed a story of a man in Mexico feeding thousands of migrants from El Salvador and Honduras. I didn't see any one of those poor people crying about the wrong type of food, etc. They were just grateful that someone cared enough to feed them. Perhaps "poor" people here in America can learn something here.
-
I help out at a homeless shelter and everything is donated. We feed hot meals for breakfast and lunch, give out clothing and give out bags of food every 60 days from a sign up sheet. Most of the people are grateful but a few complain. One guy said "I don't want this garbage" and I wanted to say "why are you here go to a restaurant and pay some money"

Well coincidentally quite a few people at these distributions are hispanics and they some of the very ones complaining. I have also noticed the pictures of these "poor" people from south of the boarder and they all have iPhones in their hands and the women have big diamond rings on. These "poor" kids have on Nike tennis shoes. And they all seem to be pretty clean and well dressed.
There are a lot of poor people in America. There are a lot of POOR people in America that cannot get any help but yet illegals can waltz across the boarder and get everything for free. And FYI these people laugh at us and call us stupid Americans.
I am not sure why people have to bring race in to everything. Fact is people of every skin color and every nationality have their share of entitled people.

I help out at a homeless shelter and everything is donated. We feed hot meals for breakfast and lunch, give out clothing and give out bags of food every 60 days from a sign up sheet. Most of the people are grateful but a few complain. One guy said "I don't want this garbage" and I wanted to say "why are you here go to a restaurant and pay some money"
I probably would have responded. At the least I would have asked him "why are you here". "Beggars can't be choosers. You want steak then get a job and work for the money and go buy whatever you want".
I wish someone give me free food. I think people who complain calling free food crap should be told to leave the area without getting anything at all!
Do some research. Find a distribution in your area. Go stand in line. lol The only person I ever saw turned away, and they were not turned away just denied extra was a family who tried to get a bag per person instead of per household.

You will always find idiots, loud mouths and obnoxious. I hate being around people like that. People like that want to be seen no matter what it's about.
