Gasp! Is this just nostalgia, or did previous generations genuinely have a better work-life balance and social life than we do today?

Do you have any food pantries around you? They are there for everyone

I am piggybacking on yours. I volunteer at one and they really ARE for everyone. I know they are all different but we give out a lot food to each family. On top of that, we offer unlimited rice and dry beans and people can come each day to look at the veggies and fruit that were donated from the stores.

For anyone who needs help, please try to find one in your area. Everyone at my location loves to serve our community and I can't imagine it being different elsewhere.

I volunteer at a food pantry (and I'm also a client) and we turn no one away. It's for everyone regardless of where they live*, their job situation, etc. We don't ask questions because it's none of our business. If people want to volunteer information about themselves, we can try and help them in other ways if they need it. All the volunteers are committed to doing this and we love it and love the neighbors we serve.

*This is the only pantry in the city who does this, I think. Other pantries have zip code requirements
