« Food Plight in America- Farmer in Chief New Palin For Pres Website, News & Links Now Online » Oct 22 2008 Cupboards bare as New Jersey food banks serve more Posted by: in News Yes indeed, working families are starting to seek food assistance from food banks and rescue shelters. Will it be another seven months before people realize that the food crisis is upon us? I hope not. I don’t dwell on the food emergency too much on this blog, but it is real, it’s happening now, and it will only get worse. People, you need to purchase and stockpile some basic food supplies, for the sake of your family. If you have some money still, places like Nitro-Pak.com might be a good way to go, assuming the canneries are keeping up the pace with demand. Aldi’s, Costco, Sam’s Club…wherever you need to go to get the basics, do so now. Unfortunately, the gardening season is coming to a close, at least where I live, but think about spring time NOW, and plan accordingly. The system is too fragile, too volatile, to rely on; It is already running low on supplies. My grandparents always had stack upon stack of seasoned fire wood available, and a fully stocked pantry. For them it wasn’t hoarding, or showed a lack of faith…it was simply prudent and wise; it was how they were raised, and it’s about time we take to heart some of the practical lessons that those who lived through hard times (like the last Great Depression) have to teach us. Do it, do it now, stop fooling around. Stop trying to convince yourself that everything will be OK. If you have a family, if you have children, get busy now. Source pressofatlanticcity.com Tough economic times are making it hard for the state’s food pantries to keep their shelves stocked. State officials said New Jersey’s food banks are reporting as much as a 30 percent increase in the number of families seeking food assistance, while food supplies are down by 19 percent from the same time last year. In some cases, they said, a few of the facilities simply closed after running out of supplies. The situation is so bad that Gov. Jon S. Corzine recently announced the early distribution of nearly $1 million to the state’s six emergency food distribution centers to ease the shortages reported by the food pantries. Of those funds, $14,444 went to the Southern Regional Food Distribution Center in Vineland, where Executive Director Tammy Morris said people requesting food are not just those on fixed incomes. “Now we see more working families coming in requesting food,” she said. “It’s not looking good.” Full Story… famine Related Blogs Related Blogs on famine Feast or Famine: The Freelancer’s Sales Pipeline Man made famine looms in Zimbabwe TIFFANY FOX – Man drought or lady famine?
