You and your mother did really good at the food pantry. Can you ask your mother to share her recipe for the buffalo chicken that she makes with the chicken in the package? Thank you and bless you both.😇😊
You know what I made for my kids and I tonight? Homemade chicken noodle soup. Cooked it for several hours in the crockpot and made the house smell great. I thank god that I have been able to provide for my family yet another day. Sending prayers, peace and healing thoughts to one and all.
Thank you for this, it’s so important to regularize the food banks! I have been on both ends, volunteering and then falling on hard times unexpectedly and need this for my family. God bless all!❤
Grew up in an Adventist church where my grandma and her good friend Lois (RIP Lois) started the soup kitchen and pantry . Me and my siblings would have to come with her every Sunday to the soup kitchen so she could hand things out and make bags of stuff . It was nice seeing how the community respected my grandma and even the kids/teens would see her on Saturday going to church and would stop her to hug or chit chat with her .
We go to a food pantry every week or so. Last time we got two huge bags of frozen meatballs. Nobody else in the house knew what to do with them. I made tacos several times, patties (meat pies) and chilli. We usually get bread, produce, canned goods and sometimes they have baked goods. It’s extremely helpful ❤❤❤ Got to be creative and use what you have. 💯
I usually don't comment I'm just a little confused. Isn't this for people who Really need food and have nothing to eat? I feel like we should preserve it for the less fortunate that really need food but can't afford it. If I have food in my home I wouldn't want to go take from someone else that may have nothing or much less.
I agree. If you can afford to throw away food from a food bank?!?!?!!?!?!! I also know that you’re not supposed to bounce around to them. If a food bank finds out you’re hopping around to multiple banks, they won’t service you.
They throw food away at the food pantries all the time because they have so much left over.. It's a fact... How do you know how much food these people have? and different communities all do different things they don't all just whatever everyone else is doing... They even have other food pantries listed for the people there so their families are fed.. Just because someone may have some food in their house doesn't mean they have enough to make it until they are able to buy more.
@@trishbowers3768would you eat food from a food pantry that you thought might not be safe... That happens thing's get spoiled or are far to past the date to use too... I'd throw something out too if something else leaked on it and it didn't look safe. It happens.
@@trishbowers3768 depends on the local and state agencies. Our pantry here encourages a few to go to 2-3 other pantries. 3 of the 4 they recommend are for a specific school district. The 4th has multiple locations and you can go to any of their locations as they don't ask for address.
Anything can change in our lives in an instant.No matter how much you save or have in surplus can be wiped away fast. Sometimes the best credit is not enough.Hard times and struggle can happen. Life happenings such as bad health, losing a job or many other factors account for it.I have experienced some of it. May God continue to bless everyone.Bless the organizations that bless others God Bless your family and mom too. Take Care
Food banks take donations and surpluses from the community and redistribute it to people who will use it to feed their families. In the past at least a lot of the clients were on food stamps that didn't provide enough to get through the month or people who made just over the threshold to receive SNAP. But really they're for anyone in the community. Also, not everything people need can be purchased with SNAP. Food pantries are aware of this and accept donations of things like toilet paper, toothpaste and hygiene supplies to help people meet their needs. When your income is limited it's a good idea to use the resources in your community to stretch your money. If getting all these groceries means that the little boy gets new shoes when he outgrows his current ones then things are working just fine.
I usually dont use food banks to save money, I normally leave this for people who are struggling extremely..but its its good to educate people on what they can do, especially if that cant feed theirselves or their familly
I grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist church and my mom volunteers with the food bank every week in Virginia. Y’all took it back to the 80’s with that Goodt Government cheese. Thanks for sharing.
I think that it was very considerate of your mom too look out for you and Eli as well….. you’re exactly right times are very hard now. Thank god for the food pantry. Much love ❤️🥰🙏
Hello Tiona, Elijah, Mom. You did your, mother hair nice. That's good,your mom went to the food pantry. Food in very expensive. I remember that cheese. Some good grilled cheese sandwich, bake mac- cheese. ❤❤❤❤
Hi t and eli the foods pantry are amazing by helping the community and i like your mom hair it's so cute and you did awesome job,hope y'all are having a wonderful friday and stay safe out there ❤️🤗❤️🤗
I only use the food pantries if I need to and I have it in years if everybody started going to the food pantry just so that they could save money on groceries instead of when they’re absolutely down and out and there’s not gonna be anything there for the families to have like zero money
Not true. Food pantries want to distribute food. Especially the perishables. They do not want to throw food away. There's nothing wrong with accessing a foodbank to supplement your grocery budget. And if the money saved makes it possible to take a child on an outing, get one more school outfit or get the oil changed in the car that's OK. A lot of people are in an economic position that isn't abject poverty, but they still have to choose which bill to pay. Groceries from a food bank can make their income go farther. That's ok.
This is awesome to see and a blessing. The only time I have to go to a food bank is when we have hurricanes here in Texas. You tell them your family size and they come and place the food and drinks in your car.
I'd say there's at least a 100 dollars of groceries on the table and in the floor. Probably more than a that. I paid about 6 dollars for a pumpkin pie last thanksgiving smaller than the one she had. I'd say that food is closer to 150 dollars. Food pantry also give someone chance to try foods they might not normally pick but might like after all. Food pantry gave me 13 cabbages about 3 months ago. This time, they gave me 2 boxes of twisted bread stick. Inside it also had a bag of cinnamon powder.
Hi Thanks for sharing. Yes, moms haur is really nice. You did a good job. Love your spirit and good energy. May The Most High bless you and yours❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for making this video ! After watching I felt the courage to go to our local pantry and get the help we needed. I never went as a child, so I was scared of it for some reason. It was nothing to worry about and it actually helped us a lot ! I've been watching you since you were homeless, and you have no idea how much your videos help people! Ignore the haters, and stay blessed!🤍
Hey Tee I love you and Eli and have been a supporter for a real long time so please please don’t take this as shade or think I’m tryna be funny but I did see another person comment and say something about their faces. I’ve watched many other UA-camrs as well and they do also blur other people’s faces if they just so happen to be in the video I think maybe it’s a respect thing but someone else commented and said that there was someone running from their ex and asked to please blur their face. Just saying, maybe that’s why the other person may have said what they said it was just very rude the way they came off and said it to you. But I love you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When times was hard growing up we had to go to the food banks. It's nothing wrong with getting help when you are in need. As high as groceries are now and as hard as it is to even qualify for food stamps you have to do what you have to do to make sure your household has. God always provides too
I love goin to the food banks this how me and my dad be and yes things are really high out here but stay strong god bless u and ur family ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Cute kid. Good haul. I hit the pantries every week. I live off that stuff, but I try to take it easy on the snacks. Mom is right about that salmon. Good stuff.
I’m in Public place I can record what I want yall people find an issue with anything. Yall act like my true intentions were to record them. Please I’m minding my business sharing my life. There’s nothing wrong with getting food at a food bank so furthermore nobody should be or feel ashamed and if you do then lord help you with that pride.
I stand by what I said... you didn't have to show their faces, like you said you're minding your business and so are they..just bc something is "legal " doesn't make it right..
I been visiting local food pantries, since 2006. When I was pregnant,with my now 17 years old daughter. And we both still goes, and gather items. For the householf. I am glad she made this videos, cause the world needs to see. Not everyone,can purchase groceries like everyday people, who does have the means.
The food pantry in my area is the only one we can go to they assign the counties to a certain one., There are no weekly here it's once a month and just one pantry.. They only give basics like bread milk eggs flour etc... It's not much but it does help. I wish we did have the pantries around here like the one's I watch here on UA-cam.. Ours is nothing like that not even close. I am really glad we do have what we do here though.... Thank you for sharing, God bless your home and family always stay safe and well. ❤
❤😢With the cost of living, food, and gas prices going up and up ⬆️ it’s most definitely scary times for the majority of the world 🌎 right now. Praying 🙏 for us ALL! ❤ Thanks 🙏 for sharing T! 😊
😊 tell momma to make cheese toast in the oven with that cheese. I miss that cheese. My granny would have us all over as kids and we’d go around and get that cheese and have a good ole time picking green beans and eating cheese toast.
😊😊😊😊HEY YA'LL 😊😊😊 This was a good video for people who may be struggling and are low on money to buy groceries. It's not about savings money 😒 its not having enough. God bless whomsoever needs to know there is help.😊
I grew up with the food pantry. My family struggled a lot and it was such a a blessing. Never be scared to ask for help
Food prices are outrageous 😢. It is so hard to make ends meet.❤
Help us Lord. Amen. Some people have more money than they can ever spend while others live in poverty. 😢
That is what my mother used to say all the time.
🙏
Its crazy out here, and there is nothing wrong with it as long as they eat .
You and your mother did really good at the food pantry. Can you ask your mother to share her recipe for the buffalo chicken that she makes with the chicken in the package? Thank you and bless you both.😇😊

Good hot wholesome meals like you make for your fam is great and makes them thrive better throw in some carrots.😊

Surely your not suggesting poor people must have empty cupboards to go to a food bank?

Never be too proud to get on a line that is offering to help others . Thank God for them 🙏
Nothing wrong with going to food banks I have done it plenty of times everyone needs help every know and then god bless ❤
Amen!
I work 40 hrs a week and still go to a food bank to get by
Yes, Lord save some money I use food back every month. God is good. I'm on disability and times are hard.😊
Food pantries are an absolute blessing for so many people who are facing food insecurities 🙏🏼

I thought the food bank was for people that did not and could not afford to buy any food I didn't think it was so you can save money for other things

The rest of those people didn't agree to be on camera.
I’m in a public place . Shut it
I don't see faces.
@youthrowstoneithrowbread Cut it out. You're smarter than that, I'm sure?
Too bad you aren't. You must have been there, that's why you're crying 😭 about it.
@youthrowstoneithrowbread Nah, I don't go to food banks to "save money." I'll leave that for you.
I grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist church and my mom volunteers with the food bank every week in Virginia. Y’all took it back to the 80’s with that Goodt Government cheese. Thanks for sharing.
The government cheese is better than any other cheese. As grandmother said you can take something and doctor it up your way of liking
