Our church is so helpful too. They have a help for those in real need to receive food every month..a months worth for the whole family! They don't choose it for you, you choose what you need. Different kinds of meats, soups, flour, sugar, vegetables, fruits, the list goes on! Also, if clothing, blankets, kitchen needs, even furniture is needed, they give that.
When I was single with my four kids I got church help with the most beautiful Quilts and heavy blankets. We needed them!
They helped me a lot while single.

I didn't need to go on welfare.
