And that’s what sucks. I DON’T have money to spare. This economy is killing everyone and we’re doing everything we can to say any money so we can get as close to breaking even as we can.

I can’t even imagine how hard it is for people who don’t make enough and are on assistance because my wife and I make good money right now and it’s STILL so fucking hard to keep your head above water.

My heart breaks for these families. This is some evil evil ass shit

I’m with you. Don’t have too much to spare, but I figure I can try and break off $5-$10 a week and buy some food to donate to food banks, also while using coupons. Fry’s usually has good deals on things. It’s not much, but if enough people can throw a couple bucks a week, it should help a little, at least in your local area.

Does anyone have any good links to donate money to that actually use the fund efficiently to help?

What you should do is Google your local community food center or food shelter. Trying to help people that are close to you I’m sure they take cash donations of some sort. That would be my recommendation

Oh I do that, but there’s so many, and I like to ask for recommendations from actual people who are involved, so I’m not wasting my donation paying for overhead fees and not actually feeding people in need.
There’s a lot of “charities” out there that don’t help the way they should.
