RUN ON FOOD BANKS

Is there a run on food banks? Our capitol's food bank says the need is greater than ever ( a quote constantly used, not just statewide but locally). It serves about 1000 families a month. Wow!. That compares with 250 - 300 families just 30 years ago. Just? 30 yrs? All trying times considered, all increases in wages and population tabulated, all liberal media spin and distortion of the need for charity unabated - I say there's no run on food banks, just business from do-gooders as usual. But the 'moral hazard' has greatly increased as many are now encouraged to use Food Banks as a substitute for buying their food. The food budget becomes available to pay for cellphones or sneakers. Are we really to believe there are more hungry people now than in the Great Depression?
