So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

I’m dying. Seriously. I have heart failure, on top of chronic illnesses. To streamline, I’m deleting this account but can still be found @GinaRitter for an undetermined amount of time. 🤷‍♀️

@Angry_Staffer You actually saw in it and pointed out something that wasn’t there. What is there is funny as hell, as the OP intended... a truly unflattering photo and a gotcha moment on how much he’s hated 😂😂

@Kurisitaru I need to spend however long it takes today reading the responses. I'm turning 45 and am currently disabled and not terribly healthy. But because of what I've been through, I'm considering going to law school to help others like me. I'm not sure I can pull it off at all though.

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

Please please come over to the dark side with me @GinaRitter so I can integrate my two Twitter accounts since I no longer need both. You know.. integrate them like two personalities in an identity disorder. 😂👍🏽🤷‍♀️

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

Chronic illness?
Chronic killness.

I’m still hiding from the Covid. How about you?

@Mom_Overboard Sadly, Bill Cosby was my TV dad growing up. The dad I needed because mine was an emotionally distant and explosive guy. Cosby’s dad character was the best. But I’m ashamed now and salt in the wound is his char. being an OBGYN. I felt his betrayals of trust and rapes in my soul.

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

@g0t_86d Awwww damn. That sucks. Mine is just neurotic and I was caught off guard

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

@Mom_Overboard Is this the one you wanted or the one you had?

A long ass time ago in a galaxy far away, I needed two Twitter Accra to separate serious writing work and home life (here) with standup comedy and things like dating (over there). I could juggle. But I got sick, life changed. Please follow me at @GinaRitter to help me rebalance!

I despise Trump. But we have to talk about shaming people with incontinence.

I’m so spacey, I wonder how I survive in the wild sometimes.

We are monsters.
Lawyers say they can't locate the parents of at least 545 migrant children after they were separated under the president's "zero-tolerance" border policy.
Approximately two thirds of them were deported to Central America. https://t.co/rDh8WEyBA0

@clashley1976 I had to read it again bc my visual was of you laying face down in a cow patty but your boots were being taken off & allowed to look at the sky.

So, hi, my name is Gina & if you want someone to exhaust you w/ her overthinking while you die, boots you or not, I’m your person.

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

@clashley1976 Wait. Do you want to be turned over before you die or after? And if you want to be turned over before you die, is it to save you or just give you a better view for death? And what is with the boots thing?

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

Is it called ‘misunderstood’ or flat out ‘unloveable’?

[Gina Ritter @Gina_Chat]

I lick my phone clean about once a week to disinfect it and to keep my immune system poppin.

My regular liaison with the devil in the middle of the night since my twenties still goes on, except we are now just putting peanut butter in our ice cream and watching movies.
