Idk who needs to hear this, but there’s absolutely no shame in using a food bank. I volunteered at one for years and people were always so embarrassed. They always had an excuse, as if they had to justify the help they received. That’s literally what it’s there for! Everyone hits hard times at some point and your neighbors are here to help.
I later utilized a food bank for a couple years when I was recovering from homelessness and it was a godsend.
