Sometimes asking for help can feel impossible. For many of us, asking for help makes us feel embarrassed or ashamed. But I have no shame. I will do it for you because you matter. You deserve to be fed. You don't have to problem-solve your own survival alone. Please reach out.

If you find yourself struggling to get food, come to me for help. I can't promise perfect solutions, but I can promise that I will fight for you, advocate for you, make connections for you, seek out local support options for you, and ask favors on your behalf so you don't starve.

National food assistance programs will stall on November 1, putting 40 million (one in eight) Americans at risk of food insecurity, hunger, and worse. This will likely overwhelm local food charities, many of which have fragile supply chains and limited stock.

And now you do what they told ya.

Now you're under control.

I've also been thinking about this.
