moteur of Daytona Beach, FL simple solution here...jobs that pay better than minimum wage, landlords that don't charge the average income on minimum wage for rent, utilities that don't keep raising rates. Hannaford's jacking prices because an item became popular. Remove the greedy people from society. People will work if you give them a damn decent paying job...or just keep whining and moaning while people steal, beg, borrow and do what they NEED to survive. Unfortunately it will get worse before we collectively smarten the hell up.report abuse

GodsChild of Skowhegan, ME Neighbor Helping Neighbor is delighted to present to the local communities an opportunity to have excellent quality wholesome food at affordable prices. This food is purchased from local wholesalers and presented to you in different menu box options.
This month we have 6 different menu’s from which to choose. This is all first quality food. It is not food pantry or damaged or outdated food, nor is it cheap imported food. For those of you who tried Angelfood and were disheartened at the quality, you will be extremely pleased with the quality of NHN food. This is NOT Angelfood or any of its products. There have been changes in the meats. Last winter we were receiving all our food from Angelfood. We realized that some people who ordered were very disappointed in the meats. NOW, all our food is from local wholesale companies, such as North Center, Sysco, and Poultry Products. These wholesale companies are where all our local supermarkets, grocery stores and restaurants obtain their food. Because of this we think you will be quite pleased with the upgrade in the quality of the food. The food no longer has to travel nearly 1700 miles to get here. The meats are delivered just days before you receive it and the fruits and vegetables the day before. We have worked very hard to provide a truly quality product with actual real savings. A lot of people have the mistaken conception that this is only for those in need or low income. This is co-op buying power so this program is truly for everyone! The more people who participate the greater the savings. We have also included the opportunity for people to purchase with food stamps so this can be truly for everyone not just those with large food budgets. All are welcome to participate. There are no limits. There are no income guidelines. No paperwork to fill out. No community service to perform. There truly are no strings attached. www.oldruggedcross.org or Neighbor Helping Neighbor Skowhegan Maine 474-3700report abuse

couchsurfer of skowhegan, ME I'd like to comment on the food bank & hunger / homeless issue, Skowhegan area---I tried all the numbers that were listed, including churches. Most of the numbers need to be updated & when I finnally got a pastor (& he was very nice), I was told that the only way anyone could get any help was to wait till Monday to apply for help through the "Cupboard" & then use the food bank. Does anyone out there have any updated info? Some families just need help till a new steady job pans out so they can get food & shelter on their own? It's hard when things happen that cause people into situations where they don't have a home anymore & are hard workers. It would be so helpful with winter just around the corner, if an updated list of contacts for food banks & other help were listed in all of the newspapers & on the websites. Thank you.report abuse
