"How do you go about finding out if you can get assistance.. I can’t afford to have Thanksgiving dinner for my mother and daughter but I have a job and my local food bank said 'no' when I asked for help, I can’t afford it because of having to replace all my food twice due to the storms… people who actually work should be able to get help once in a while too…"
After Community Programs Coordinator George Lombardo responded to her with some suggestions, she sent the following message:
"Thank you for the response. I did call the local food bank in my home town they are the ones who turned me down for too high of an income… I decided to call back and explain that I am not looking for a weekly handout only help for the holidays, with having to replace all my food twice in a short time all my savings is gone, we live hand to mouth every week, don’t know how Santa’s going to make it to our apt. either, I’m starting to really hope he’s real, LOL. They told me to come in today and they’d see what they could do to help with a holiday meal. I appreciate your help and I’ll let you know how I made out, thanks again, you gave me hope and the motivation to try again. Happy Holidays."
