Please don't forget thousands and thousands of your neighbors have lost their food stamps and are quietly starving

28. Other Churches

My Luteran Church runs its own food bank and receives food from the USDA. We have seen a tremendous increase in the number of clients coming in the last year. The federal government has made cuts to what they give the food bank, but the community and the church come through. Many red states have already cut SNAP benefits and Medicaid; the Blues states are hanging on but when that Big Beautiful Bill goes into effect, they will be in trouble too. In this county we have community food banks also. Progressive sites are filled with folks talking about lacking food, lacking healthcare and the ability to pay for utilities. It is heartbreaking, I never thought this nation would be like this.
