Hungry people need food. Who they voted for isn't relevant in the food cue.
Some people have a lot to be thankful for, others less so.
Thank you to the people who supply the food, thank you to the people who work tirelessly distributing it.
Things will hopefully get better soon.

because if they continue on this path we might see more and more people having to rely on food banks.
