Most of the people who go to soup kitchens are low income seniors unless they are located in areas like skid row. Some are the homeless but they are the minority. That’s true of the charity my wife works for with its 25+ feeding sites and 13 food pantries 4 senior centers Meals on Wheels and Meals for the Homebound. Some of those programs are limited to seniors only per the grants but most aren’t.
I congratulate you and your wife for helping the poor. It is a complicated problem and for Costa Mesa to say “shut it off” is very cold. Liberals cannot be allowed to pass off a problem they created.
Poverty by percentage is higher now than in 1965. The “War on Poverty” was declared then. We have spent trillions of dollars to no avail. The Liberals own it. They try to remove God at every corner and cannot fathom why they have no success. I do care about the poor, more than Capitol Hill, but they are driving private charity out. Why.......
