61. In Texas, Meals on Wheels was threatened.

Sat Nov 15, 2025, 10:35 PM

Saturday

Two corporations stepped up and funded it. Several churches here have had food banks, etc., but I don't think they help unless it's some kind of a scheduled event.

No matter which part of the general populace tries to help, it is still not sustainable for the numbers that have need.

Thanks for the perspective. I'm glad to know that there are SOME faith-based organizations who understand need.
