Thank you Erin for the list of food pantry tips! Super helpful. If I may add a suggestion - call your representatives! Ask them to create pressure to release the contingency funds. Call your governor too! I’ve been using 5calls to lessen my phone anxiety and give me some tangible talking points (but always manage to go off script a bit).
I was JUST researching the most needed items at food banks. Heartened by a neighbor who emailed an oft-negative listserv to begin organizing and connecting neighbors in need to those who can afford to help.
love it! i can't even bring myself to join the neighborhood listservs—so much surveillance, so little community spirit! but i am v v glad to know that yours is being put to good use!
Thank you! and the insights about what to donate (and not) are different than I have come across before and very useful!
Unbelievable.
Shared with all my folks!
Thank you!
