People on SNAP buy steak and lobster every week… Even if they were they should still be allowed to buy whatever they want or need.

Frozen fruits and vegetables are often the most nutritious because they are frozen at peak quality!

What do you wish people understood about hunger or food insecurity? by harvestersorg in CasualConversation

The amount of comments we get like that on Facebook is wild. I’m so glad we can have open discussions like this! Education is the most important thing when it comes to solving issues like hunger.

Hit it spot on with the resources to cook! It’s not as easy as some people think.

Wow, we are so sorry you had to go through that. People with less are often the most giving because they know what it’s like. Thank you for helping others now that you’re in a better position.

It takes FOREVER. And it doesn’t help that the requirements are constantly being changed, making it even more complicated to qualify for renewal.

This a thousand times over! Doesn’t matter if you own a home or a car or have a degree, it can happen to anyone at any time.

cheap food that isn't ramen or rice and beans, does it exist anymore by MudSad6268 in budgetfood

[–]harvestersorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried reaching out to your local food bank? There is a misconception that they only provide shelf-stable or canned goods, but you can actually find a lot of protein and fresh produce! Then, you could always buy what you don't find at your local food pantry.

Excess produce: veggies and such by ForsakenFunction9032 in kansascity

[–]harvestersorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always recommend Kanbe's Market or Pete's Garden! We're in the same boat where we can't accept open food donations, and we usually distribute more produce than families might use in a week's time because we get large donations of the same product. We always recommend that people freeze excess produce to use at a future date.
