3. We're having drives at our church (in DE) because Wilmington's
food bank is running low. I don't know exactly how low. The LDS just came around last night to pick up a few bags of groceries for the Newark food bank.
5. Our Church collects food once a month and helps deliver food ....
People take a paper grocery bag home from their car windshield on the next to last Sunday in the month and bring it back filled the last Sunday, place it behind their car bumper and it is picked up before they leave. Rather efficient and easy way to contribute.
I am afraid the situation is going to get worse before it gets better.
that some people are stopping by the food banks on their way to work. Even people with work can't afford to pay for food. Shelter in NYC is incredibly expensive.
they've set up food collection sites at densely populated transportation spots, like the staten island ferry terminal. that reminds me, i need to bring some canned food for them tomorrow. :)
