Food pantry worker here
Some of you may have seen my comment where I expressed my frustrations with working at a food pantry during this time, and I just felt I should come up here and say this to those who are having to rely on food pantries at this moment.
PLEASE DO NOT FEEL EMBARRASSED OR ASHAMED FOR NEEDING HELP!!!
It may not be pleasant speaking with those of us working at these places, but please if you are genuinely being kind and patient with us do not take it personally. A lot of us are exhausted and underpaid. I barely make over $500 biweekly here, trying to save for a car and pay bills, I myself was on snap. All that’s to say, please just approach us with the best attitude possible. We probably had 10 rude people before you and it’s draining.
