Cogito Ergo Sum
| First year as a board member of a local chamber of commerce, we volunteered to help the local food bank give away boxes of food to the needy. Local churches provided the names and they came to the food bank to pick the boxes up. Spent the first half of the prepping the boxes with a variety of food. After lunch I carried the boxes to the cars. I was putting boxes of food meant for the needy into cars I couldn’t afford then or now. Mercedes, Cadillacs, F450’s,… What an eye opener. This was back in the 90’s and I hear it hasn’t changed. |

| I grew up with a small 6x8" wood shellaced sign that hung in our kitchen that said "Chearful Eaters Eat Well in My Kitchen, Complainers Get Dismal Dinners. Texas huh? If I were in a position of need like that, and ever grateful I'm not, I would happily accept all the pulled pork samiches that could be obtained from all those helicopter hunts ![Big Grin](http://sigforum.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) . |

No , it hasn't . I volunteered at a FB and there were plenty of people that were scamming the system . |

Technically Adaptive
| There is no scamming the system around here, everyone is welcome for self serve, if you want food boxed up for seniors (over 60) you have a income limit depending on house hold size and any kids. It's earned income only, not what you own or how much you have in the bank. They are not doing any thing wrong, just taking what the State offers them. https://ourneighborsfarm.org/visiting-the-pantry/ |
