The food pantries in this country are giving out food that is made by small companies that get Gov. contracts. This food is produced in other countries and is full of pesticides and other harmful ingredients and needs to be cleaned up. Every food pantry gives out beans, rice, peanut butter ect… Many families have an overabundance of these items and there is a lot of waste. Continue to offer these items, but there needs to be a complete overhaul of this system. Offer vouchers for farmer’s markets, meats and other healthy pantry staples that are not available at the food pantry. This needs to be available nationwide and not just in the cities.
Every harmful ingredient needs to be removed from ALL of our food supply.
