Fresh Food Pickup For Those In Need in Kalamazoo/Battle Creek
It s no secret that people are struggling this year. We re living through a historical pandemic which is putting people out of jobs and causing them to not only struggle with bills but with basic needs like food.
According to a recent article from The Washington Post, shoplifting has spiked this year as people struggle to make ends meet. The most popular items stolen have, largely been staple foodstuffs such as bread, pasta and baby formula. That may sound surprising to some but, from personal experience, people often don t talk about the fact that they re struggling. I look at my mother, for example, who refused to ask for help when we needed it. Instead, she skipped other bills or there were nights where we just had snacks for dinner or nothing at all. But, there are places that are there to help especially now. Places like The South Michigan Food Bank.
