- With inflation at a 40-year high, families are stretching their dollar farther than ever. Some are skipping meals just to pay for other household expenses, pushing them to local food pantries that are also feeling the squeeze. Carlos Roldan, director of the Father English food pantry in Paterson, said people are already lining up to collect food when he arrives at 7:30 a.m.

Unfortunately, the food pantries will soon be overwhelmed and the only options for many will be soup kitchens. One daily meal will stretch the donations , but with very little or nothing to actually take home.
God bless the hands that give 🙏❤️
good job
I don't know where she's buying her milk or bread at I pay a dollar nine for a loaf of bread and I don't really buy milk that's at Kroger
What milk cost $6??
A gallon of milk costs $6 at CVS where I’ve worked PT, but the only people who buy milk there are food stamp recipients getting it for free.
@@sean2015 ,
I don't shop CVS.
If I was a person using food stamps I would shop where I could get milk cheaper help stretch the food budget
@@debbieframpton3857 many food stamp recipients don’t really care about food prices since it’s free to them. They’re willing to pay more for milk or bread at CVS, Walgreens or other nearby stores because they’re too lazy to go to stores further away for cheaper prices.
Wished the food banks here in London ontario would have pull ups lol only have small size diapers
I eughty
I find it interesting all these videos from 3 months ago were not repeated in October. Hmmm? Did the problem get solved?
