My husband and I both are working. I work 35 hours a week as a caregiver and what I get payed a week/month. We are paying off some credit card debt and from when I had some health issues a few years ago. And know I go to 4 to 5 food pantry/food banks. Every week and it sure helps us out.
@@nicolecrawford5598 that awesome to hear that you to are able to help stay afloat financially because of the utilization of the food banks and food pantries. I really wish everyone knew that they are there for all who can use the help. It makes a tremendous difference in the quality of food that we eat.
@@hjoanncarrico8785 🥰 thank you. I will continue to attempt to educate others and encourage anyone that can use the help to go. There is so much food that is wasted and tossed in the landfill that no one should be going without.
Hey mama, I'm a grandma, but we have a lot in common. My husband and I are raising our two grandkids and I'm here to tell you, if it hadn't been for food banks, we wouldn't have starved, but we defnitely wouldn't have had food choices. I was extremely grateful for any help we got. The cutest thing was when we would pick up what the pantry gave us, they knew I had kids and they would cater towards the kids with the extras... like snack cakes, cookies, fruit juices, etc. The kids would get so excited! It was almost like christmas! They would get so excited. fortunately we don't need to use the pantry anymore, so I don't take advantage of it, so others who may need it can.
@@pammolling5034 thank you 😊 I must say…. Everyone in the house loves the bowl coozies… they are perfect!!! I love everything you sent and it all means so much that you thought of me and my family. And I must say the cute little leaf stitching on the runner is the absolute cutest. Small detail that I didn’t notice right away and when I saw it I just smiled. It’s absolutely perfect.
The Cabot Mac and cheese is really good! I haven’t tried the American cheese one bc I haven’t seen that one. We’ve tried the sharp Mac and cheese from Cabot! 😊
@@soothingsymphonies yes, it’s not only allowing us to still bring in some income but I am able to get a break and be able to attend the food pantry!!! It can be difficult with one vehicle that’s for sure but we will make do.
@@MsRene98 ahhh I would’ve never guessed them to be easy on the gut as I was told to limit how much of them I consumed because they were very hard for the body to digest and could really irritate my UC. However you do have a great point….. adding all the veggies does add a great bit of nutrition to them.
Haters need to get a life. I think you are awesome. You are doing what is best for your family. You even have a garden, I wish I could but I have been known to kill plants 🤣 I work about 45 hours a week and get a free tank of gas per week from work. I still go to the food pantry once a month. You do you. I think you are a great person and mom.
@@nancyrosas6772 thank you 😊 lol not killing the plants 🌱 that’s a nice help. I wish more companies would do that for their employees. But yes I agree we all need the help sometimes and the food pantry is sometimes the help that is needed. Thank you 😊
@@doloreswilson6698 yes yes yes 🙌 I wish everyone would realize that they too are welcome to go to the food banks…. We ALL are needing some Help now a days.
Great haul on the food bank, 🎉ours was Saturday too we got 2 rolls of Jimmy dean sausage, fresh collards, 2 corn on the cob, 2 cans of corn, 4 cans of green beans, 2 cans of Campbells tomato soup, 4 cans of sliced pears, 1 pound box of spaghetti, 1 pound box of Rotini, 1 pound box of bow tie pasta and 1 pound box of shells, then we got 3 pounds of South Carolina peaches and they taste so good! And 6 Lipton green teas and gallon of Pet milk good until 7/29!! Which it will last over that date but amazing! And oh can’t forget the 4 pounds of Navy beans! Those be good in fall with some ham pieces and cornbread! We were very grateful lots of useful things! ❤ can’t wait to see what you cook in a week this week and food bank on Wednesday! ❤🎉
@@jennifermunn6898 oh nice!!!! You certainly did get some wonderful items. You are right those beans will be delicious come fall and winter. I am looking forward to making a big ole pot of beans once the cooler weather comes. My favorite beans are pinto beans…. Mmmm with cornbread and chow chow!!!! I bet those peaches 🍑 are very nice. Great food bank!!!
Peeps last so long … and honestly are great to roast over a fire or on a S’more 😊great haul girl … if the first salad is to far gone make sure to pull the packet of goodness from it before tossing ❤
Hey girl How are y'all doing. Sorry I had been really sick they got me on Hospice, So that's my life story Ok I just wanted to say hi and keep on keeping on.
@@MaryCleveland-h6c hey, I am doing good. I am so sorry to hear that you have been sick. If you need anyone to talk to please don’t hesitate to send me an email.
Just give him a little bit. You do realise they can eat things like eggs, meat like chicken, soggy cereal etc? My winter white hamsters love sunflower seeds, meal worms and anything they can pouch for later.
@@Rebecca-zp4gm I have given him some thing like sunflower seeds and small pieces of veggies. Just never given him much of anything else. I’ll have to start sharing some of the other stuff with him. Is there anything I should never give him?
Good for you delete those negative people .I do food banks and I have a new car and now I don't work my husband can't work ,he gets social security our income sucks
@@KimParker-w7o yes I will just continue to delete and move on. I will not allow them to affect me. Food banks/pantries are for all who can use the help.

For all of the karens/ darrens talking about tattoos, 1 of the main men at a foor bank I use is sleeved out, tats on his neck, chest and nack. Also he did 15 years in prison. He is now a Deacon in his church, married and has 3 kids. Don't judge a book by its cover.
@@pawpawmike7372 exactly 👍 we all have a past and there is no telling when someone has gotten the ink on them but I agree with you, don’t judge a book by its cover.
Why do people judge people for utilizing things that are meant to be utilized? No one knows what someone life was like a yr ago or 2 yrs ago or even 10 yrs ago. Maybe you had the money for tattoos and to buy a house then. Maybe since then circumstances changed and you now need some help. Should you have to lose your home for that? You certainly can't delete your tattoos. A little over 2 yrs ago I decided I needed a new job because of the high stress level and the lack of time off (I cashed out 240 hrs of PTO). Unfortunately the only thing out there were things where I would have to take a pay cut because I had worked at my job for quite a while and moved my way up. I ended up taking a $5 an hr pay cut. Luckily we were able for my mental health to make that work by omitting things and being frugal. Not everyone can do that but some are forced to do that. People need to stop and think before speaking and judging.
@@kelsijackson1905 everything you just said is spot on. I have learned that unfortunately there will always be those that judge and assume. I on the other hand will always encourage any and everyone that can utilize the help to go. It’s a blessing to my family and helps to relieve a ton of stress from me and I understand taking a pay cut for the mental load.
Honestly, font respond, or even mention the negative comments. The people who do this feed off the attention, so if you do nothing, it starves them of oxygen.
I love all your videos and nothing wrong with your tattoos and I just don't understand why people are so rude just tell them to kiss your @###$$$_ oops sorry lol
@@rebeccabaker572 lol 😂 thank you!!! I knew that people will always be judgmental when it comes to tattoos from the very beginning even before I was in need of the food bank. I to have no clue why people have to be so rude. It’s just not needed. If you don’t like something just keep on moving. 😆 that might be exactly what I start telling them.
@@elizabethbarrett5303 no, I would love to one day. I have no idea where this shirt came from but it is super soft. It’s getting a bit bigger on me but I still love it.
