>Food banks are reporting unprecedented demand across the US as millions lose jobs, investigation shows
>About one in three people seeking groceries at not-for-profit pantries last month had never previously needed emergency food aid, according to interviews with a dozen providers across the country. >The national guard has been deployed to help food banks cope with rising demand in cities including Cleveland, Phoenix and St Louis amid growing concerns that supplies may run low as the crisis evolves. Overstretched food pantries are switching to drive-thrus and home deliveries in order to minimize the spread of Covid-19 as almost 300 million Americans are urged to stay at home.
>In Amherst, home to the University of Massachusetts’ largest campus, the pantry distributed 849% more food in March 2020 compared with the previous year. The second-largest increase in western Massachusetts was 748% at the Pittsfield Salvation Army pantry.
>In southern Arizona, demand has doubled, with pantries supplying groceries to 4,000 households every day – double the number supplied in March 2019. “We saw an increase during the federal government shutdown but nothing as rapid, massive or overwhelming as this,” said Michael McDonald, CEO of the Community Food Bank of South Arizona.
>The Lakeview pantry in Chicago is on track to provide food for as many as 2,000 individuals this week – compared with 1,100 before the coronavirus crisis.
>At least 2,765 families were provided with a week’s groceries – 36% of them first-timers – compared with 1,500 at a similar event last week, when the queue stretched almost three miles. A cab driver, single mother who worked in hospitality and freelance photographer were among those requesting help for the first time.
>The Greater Cleveland food bank received 800 calls to its helpline during one day last week – eight times the usual number. “I’ve never seen anything like it in over 20 years of service. We’re seeing people from every socio-economic level because the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck,” said the food bank’s CEO, Kristin Warzocha. >Half of American adults have either no emergency savings or not enough to cover three months of living expenses, according to Bankrate’s 2019 Financial Security Index.
The entire lifestyle of like half of the American youth is living way above their means and panhandling or selling their asses for weed or cash in their free time. Even if you said blacks are not American, this wouldn't account for the retarded liberals and southern and mid-west obese and trailer park white trash.

Insight for you: Poor people ate a lot of meals picked from restaurant dumpsters. Now that those restaurants a closed they need to adjust accordingly.
There is NO food crisis in america: The USA is a net food exporter and has more than enough domestically to meet our needs indefinitely--even with a chaotic economy.
Michael Green
You've never been to america Akmed. Go back to poring acid on white girls faces.
Ayden Stewart
Once upon a time, Americans took pride in aiding their neighbors during times of hardship. Or was that just propaganda? The true Fall of The West will be the death of the human soul, and with it, compassion. It's ok. The transhumanist agenda wants us to be emotionless androgynous biomechanical "men", right? So, it's ok.
Thomas Parker
Shitlibs hate America. But this is a problem everywhere in the West because of jewis degeneracy. It has destroyed our souls. America is merely the worst affected by this (((disease)))
Christian Thomas
I have, my cousins are Utah Mormons.
Logan Moore
I have cousins all over the world muzzie--doesn't mean anything. Your country is barely as big as Utah and you're a retard.
Jordan Wright
This is only happening because Trump excluded undocumented Americans from the relief aid. It was a move based purely on cruelty towards Latinx. The Democrats need to get a grip and force him to release aid to undocumented citizens NOW! It shows the true colours of a country when millions are allowed to go hungry just because they don't have the required paperwork. And the same people who support this are also against Bill Gates' id2020, oh the irony you are anti-id unless you want to id someone from a different skin tone. K I L L Y O U R S E L F

Hey niggers, you want your gibs back? You need to get rid of all the fucking illegals and competing shitskins.
Pls present proofs of Utah Mormans pouring acid on girls faces , ty .
Henry Scott
I have none, they were super nice, we were invited there as part of their reconstruction of the family tree. They went fucking hard and deep.

Jackson Hernandez
i have never met a dumpster diver who wasn't deliberately slumming, if poors had enough initiative to go diving they wouldn't be poor
Henry Walker
Underrated observation fren
Jackson Clark
This is why any sane and reasonable followup stimulus packages that roll out over the next few months really need to include reparations for ethnic minorities / people of color. They're the ones hit the worst by this.
God damn if that isn't an infuriating paragraph to read. Do you know why it makes me angry? The redefinition of words and cherry-picked meanings. Please continue.
Elijah Sullivan
I don't care if a million people starve. It's worth it to protect the 10% of boomers that could die from this virus
Nathaniel Davis
Yeah, CITIZENS FIRST, dipshit.
Julian Garcia
This is a great reason to start community farms! We should be growing our own food, independent of government supplied food. Surely the government would support that
Joseph Morales
All the dumpster divers I’ve seen were already on welfare. Eastern Kentucky is full of white welfare niggers.
Nathaniel Allen
Imagine getting a notice in the mail next week that you owe $1,000 in COVID-19 reparations to black people. This makes sense in the minds of Democrats.
Anthony Rogers
Yes yes.
William James
Has anyone explaint to chica what comorbidity means?
Connor Ramirez
lie harder moshi. Us trailer parks are still an upgrade to 90% of french residential housing.
Your nigger envy of the US is palpable. .. or you're just another kike larp; they love pitting niggers against whites and you foreign niggers are the worst.
Nicholas Morales
Yep, the foreign niggers actually fell for the equal crap. At least our niggers know better and have a reason to bitch and moan, kek.
Christopher Ortiz
That nigger has headphones and likely an iPod, he could just have food
Kevin Foster
Pawn shops aren't essential businesses.
Adam Green
Man an objective assessment of the state of your country really triggered you.
>inequality is a comorbidity wtf is this even supposed to mean? she is dumb as rocks
Daniel Baker

Bentley Peterson
>took pride in aiding their neighbors Their neighbors looked like them and they were part of a high trust society
Nathaniel Perry
>, Magnotta is that you?
Eli Rivera
I don't really give a fuck what happens, but my mom's church had niggers bust in and steal all of the food donations. The pantry was barely stocked, they had already taken it to the food bank couple days before. Some spooks literally saw like 6 cans of soup and a box of rice and broke in for that. Midwest is already seeing what few niggers we have chimping in flareups.
Jacob Williams
>miss one paycheck >basically homeless and starving I thought the US was rich, wtf
99% of Americans live above their means and skim credit cards to survive, the remaining 1% is millionaires.
Luke Bennett
Even if what you say is true, Pierre, it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of Americans have no savings and thus no means to take care of themselves economically during this crisis. They're a product of the Jewish that tells them to consoom.
Noah Anderson
hunger crisis? im gaining weight with the amount of food im eating. and i haven't even touched my prepping stash yet.
Leo Jones
All this time I kept hearing about Americans having 100k's of dollars in savings, being able to rebuild their hurricane ridden homes every summer. Were you all just lying, what the hell is going on.
Isaiah Rogers
Nice They’re probably cousins of mine too Igloo time boys
I need to see those poor and low income obesity rates drop to under 5% before I take hunger in America seriously.
Luis Ortiz
Thats actually not that bad in perspective with only 3000 families in south AZ. If it gets 10x worse we'll have some serious problems though.
Christopher Johnson
All the dumpster divers along the coasts are a bunch of farty liberal arts students that don't shave or bathe
Charles Flores
Yes they were, even well funded 401k are not that common and now they're all gone. As said, most Americans live to consomme and are literally on the verge of bankruptcy waiting for the slightest nudge to push them over and having their house repossessed by one of the 15 banks they have a line of credit open with. America is fucking insane.
Brayden Fisher
Bait, but good bait
Adam Barnes
Where the fuck did you hear that? Only the smart ones with REAL jobs have even close to that amount.

By the way, how are you doing Mademoiselle, I heard you had a lot of deaths today, are you ok?
Gavin Williams
To be fair, some people in the travel and hospitality industry have been out of work for a few months.
