this is just heartbreaking thinking about all those families who cant even afford food let alone celebrate the holidays... it's like they're stuck between being thankful for what little they have and struggling to put a meal on the table the fact that we're having to cut back donations from organizations like The Greater Chicago Food Depository is just devastating it's not just about the money, its about people's dignity too...
my heart goes out to all those people struggling to afford food, especially during the holidays when it's supposed to be a time of plenty ugh, the thought of 10k households not getting what they need from nourishing hope is just heartbreaking i'm also worried about the ppl who are already living paycheck to paycheck, now with rising prices and all that... how are they s'posed to make ends meet? it's crazy that the us department of agriculture cut funding for the emergency food assistance program and now these organizations have to scramble to meet demand i hope the public can come together to support these amazing ppl doing their best to help those in need
I'm SO concerned about these Chicago food pantries right now ! It's like, people are struggling so hard and they can't even afford basic groceries like turkey and ham for Thanksgiving . And it's not just that - the government cutting funding to programs that help low-income families is really taking a toll on these organizations. They're already stretched thin trying to keep up with demand, but now they have to deal with rising food prices too . I mean, how are they supposed to make ends meet? The Salvation Army and Nourishing Hope are doing amazing work, but it's just not enough right now . We need to get behind these organizations and support them financially so they can keep serving our community .
I'm so worried about the people who are going to get left behind during the holidays. This economic downturn is affecting so many families and it's heartbreaking to think that some of them might not have a decent meal on Thanksgiving. The fact that demand is far exceeding supply at these food pantries is just crazy. I mean, 10,000 households? That's like a whole town!
I'm also really concerned about the impact of the government shutdown on people who rely on SNAP. It's not just about the money, it's about the dignity and security that comes with knowing you have a safety net. I hope that public support for these organizations can help them bridge the gap, but it's clear that we need more than just donations to address this issue.
It's also interesting to see how rising grocery prices are affecting people who are barely scraping by. A turkey and some ham might cost more than a week's worth of groceries for some families? That's just not right. We need to do something about these price hikes ASAP!
OMG 10k households can't get enough holiday boxes? That's crazy! I think the gov shutdown is a huge part of the problem ppl r struggling & losing jobs, but what about all the corporations making bank meanwhile? Shouldn't they be pitching in to help out instead of just donating a fraction of their profits?
