Single person foodbank haul for the week of Thankgiving. I hated the idea of going, but then, realizing my funds wouldnt carry me through the weekend, and who wants a weekend of peanut butter sammiches when they know half the population is pigging out, so I bit the bullet and walked into town the 4 km. Here is what I gratefully received which I was told was to last me the week. 1 banana 1 small pumpkin 1 carrot 1/4 clump broccolli 1 onion 1 box of Sunrype apple juice 1 packet of Kraft dinner 1 lump of cheddar (1 inch by 4) (I got to choose between that or 4 eggs) Can of tomato soup, pork n beans minus the pork, green beans, Ravioli by Chef Boy Ardee, tuna, jelled cranberries. 1 loaf of bread 2 boxes of crackers\ 1 baggy of 1/2 cup dried milk 1/2 cup of white rice 1/2 cup of ground coffee So, there you have it. And if I dont get some sweaters happening here this week, I can look forward to the same... I toodled downtown to get some cream for my coffee and stopped at the bank to check what was left in my account. The machine malfunctioned and told me I had an error request. So I went to the supermarket anyways and picked three little things and took them to the cashier. Card declined. :( Its a good day when the cashier just smiles, lets you keep the one thing you really came in for and she tries again. SUCCESS! Used my second to last bus ticket to get home. Exhausted and drained ... another day in paradise and thank you SSI Foodbank. One day when I am better off I will dedicate myself to making sure that foodbanks I have used are able to do better than this for their vulnerable patrons, especially on Thanksgiving weekend...
