My Reflections

Ask for Food/Help

PROMPT September 20th

No one knows you can't afford food. You do not want your co-workers or neighbors to know. How do you manage? Do you go to a local food bank? Maybe visit a good friend(s) at the right time (Dinner time)? Do you somehow scrounge for leftover or unwanted food?

Go to a food bank is what I would do. I would check for local resources and help. Don't think I won't ask my coworkers or neighbors for help if needed. It is foolish to sit and starve when you don't have to. They may have knowledge of a resource you don't.

If you are going to quote show up at just the right time, you may as well ask for help. I think it is rude to show up uninvited or unplanned for a meal. It is not rude to politely ask for help as long as you can accept no for an answer. I would rather ask someone for help than eat out of a trash can or dumpster.
