It's the 4th day of the month and no SNAP benefits.  The volunteers at the food bank were so happy to see me today, I donated all the freebies and super cheap stuff that we've collected over the last two weeks like the Jif and Smuckers peanut butter, baby/toddler foods, Nature Valley and Fruit Roll ups etc. and I was so thankful that I was able help in my small way.

I knew on Friday that since the feds had not announced they had released the funding for SNAP benefits, they were not going to do it.  

This is what the corporations and oligarchs wanted.
