Soup kitchens should be a neutral territory - a DMZ of humanity - & not JUST on Christmas Day. "Hilarious" that the community patrol is so understaffed as to no longer be a resource for us, but FOUR TROOPERS can come take away someone who's just eating breakfast. #RefundCommunity

Recently, 3 elders in Stebbins were hospitalized for malnutrition due to Alaska's SNAP backlog. Today, pandemic food relief also ends for the rest of the US's hold out states. Hunger is a policy in this country, decided on by well-fed politicians.
