Hey again, This afternoon I would like to tell you about another Fresh Food Weekly Recipient

Hey again, This afternoon I would like to tell you about another Fresh Food Weekly recipient who is actually the exact same age as me. As always, her story is really upsetting because it highlights an array of problems in “the system”.

Hey Barrie, My neighbors had a fire thats destroyed most of her backyard furniture

Hey Barrie, My neighbors had a fire thats destroyed most of her backyard furniture. There isn't enough items to justify renting a bin. There's only a trailer full or maybe 2 loads in the back of a truck that need to go to the dump. She has children and is on government assistance so she will not be able to pay much, if anything at all. Is anyone able to help? Please send a DM.. Bayfeild and Cundles area. Thanks Source
