We've got to normalize telling the truth about our parents when they die. My mom was abusive, selfish, and couldn't be bothered to make amends to have a relationship with her only grandkid. She thought it was ok to punish me by hurting my son. She ended up punishing herself and missing him grow up.

Small, thoughtful donations — or even a few dollars — can go a long way.

Food banks appreciate shelf-stable, nutritious, or ready-to-eat items, and every act of kindness helps people feel seen and supported. 💙

🍽️ Think about how you’d build a meal:

Breakfast: cereal or granola with milk

Lunch: peanut butter & jelly sandwich

Dinner: pasta and pasta sauce

Simple, complete foods help people stretch meals through the week.👇

🎄 Holiday treats

Donating cookies or baked goods can make the holidays brighter.

Or give mixes (cake, cookie, brownie, muffin, cornbread) plus the basics they need — milk, butter, eggs, or oil.👇

🍎 Snack foods for littles and bigs

Pretzels, graham crackers, baby carrots, apples, bananas, popcorn, meat sticks, cheese sticks, yogurt, applesauce, granola bars, and crackers.

Healthy, filling, and easy to eat anywhere.👇

🍝 Boxed meal kits

Full kits like Banquet Homestyle Bakes, Velveeta Shells & Cheese, or store brand versions are super helpful.

Walmart and similar stores have ready-to-eat meal kits (tuna, crackers, etc.) — great for folks without full kitchens.👇

🥩 Canned meat and canned hash

Tuna, chicken breast, beef, or hash can be used in many recipes.
Protein is one of the hardest things to get enough of through food banks — these make a big difference.👇

💵 First — cash goes the furthest. Food banks can stretch money farther by buying in bulk and working with wholesalers.

If you can, cash donations help them get exactly what’s needed most.

But if you prefer donating tangible items, here’s what to keep in mind 👇

Call your Republican representatives and tell them to get back to work, make a deal with the democrats, and open the government back up. I don't know what your situation is, but the only thing that could effect those on SSDI at this time is SNAP.

Don't let the door hit ya...

That is just so disappointing.

And just when Bill Burr was having a moment. Now he's back in the garbage can.
