These posts use our poverty for you to feel good. It objectifies our need. It's dehumanizing.
You're helping us eat because the system is starving us. That isn't award-worthy.

A frustrating thing that often arises when it comes to helping people is that often the giver wants control over what the recipient receives.
Do you want people deciding what you eat? We don't either. So let's make sure that however you're helping allows us autonomy, OK?

There are so many more ways to help other than food-centered; right now we are pawns & it's as dehumanizing as not having enough to eat (or be able to afford our safest foods) every month.
Just show us you see us as human in some way or another in addition to tangible help.

If you're making batch food for strangers, share all the ingredients so people know whether its safe for their diets. If you're making food for individuals, make us something we enjoy AND follow our dietary needs & cooking safety needs to the T, especially for food allergies.

*NOTE* if we receive other public benefits, we may have asset limits that would affect them if we suddenly got more cash that we have to report (eg), so ask folks who are receiving other assistance what food delivery/access method will be safest/not put our benefits at risk.
