124. Don't let them get you down
Some of the responses here, I think, have been downright rude. I don't blame you for feeling offended. But, none of these people, for all their bitching and ideological purity put a meal on your table this month.

How the government funnels tax money through churches is open for debate, but accusing someone of "selling their soul" for a reasonably priced box of food that may or may not have a religious tract in it is looney.

I really appreciate that you posted about this program. I'd never heard of it and I do have a young friend with a part time job who struggles mightily with no family support to keep her head and the head of her little brother above water each and every month. This program will be very helpful to her. Right now, in the here and now. It will be very helpful to me too, as I won't have to worry so much for her or continue to embarrass her by finding ways to shove food off on her when she knows damn well things are becoming tight for my family too.

Anybody who wants to shit on that can go fuck themselves.
