Reminder people: food banks exist with or without politics and whether or not federal workers get paid. They are essential to the survival of many people and families and are almost entirely privately run and maintained by volunteers.
If you want to make a very real difference in the lives of others, find where one is and bring them some things like socks, soap, toothbrushes and underwear, as well as canned meats or soups. It WILL get used and appreciated and it feels a lot better than you think it will knowing you fed a family or helped someone feel like a human again by giving them fresh socks to wear to work tomorrow. (A vast majority of people below the poverty line in the US are working and living in cars or tents.)
It’s even better to just give them money because they can get better bulk deals than you.
Absolutely true, but in my experience I've gotten people to donate goods more easily than socks and canned food. It's a psychological thing in humans. I feel our population is so cynical that they assume any cash they hand over goes right into drugs and gambling. My dad was the kind of person who would buy you a new dishwashing machine after he learns you're behind on house payments, and keep the receipt so you can't return it.
If you don't have reservations about donating cash to food banks, then it's always going to do more good.
The most important thing you can donate is money. The second most important thing you can donate is probably diapers, they LOVE diapers.
Is there a map of federal workers?
Not anymore, they haven't been federal workers for 3 weeks now.
Food riots were one of the key factors that kicked off the French Revolution
