This allowed for near real time precise measurement of plate movements."

I'm going to set up a recurring donation to a local food bank, but it's good to be clear-eyed about this. Food banks cannot replace the loss of SNAP benefits.
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."
