THIS IS THE WEEK MOST OF US SIT DOWN TO OUR ANNUAL THANKSGIVING MEAL. BUT THERE ARE STILL MANY PEOPLE WHOSE SITUATIONS FORCE THEM TO SEEK FOOD DONATIONS. SONYA WARWICK WITH ROADRUNNER FOOD BANK … WHICH PROVIDES FOOD STATEWIDE … TELLS US THEIR RECENT STUDY CONFIRMS THE NEEDY ARE NOT A STEREOTYPE … AND SOME COULD EVEN BE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
SHE SAYS HALF THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE HAVE SOMEONE IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD WHO IS EMPLOYED, BUT THEY'RE STILL IN FOOD LINES BECAUSE THEY DON'T EARN ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ALL THEIR FOOD NEEDS.
SHE POINTS OUT THAT PEOPLE WHO GET DONATED FOOD DON'T NECESSARILY GET TURKEY WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS … BUT THEY DO GET FOOD TO KEEP THEM GOING.
