00:00She's great with her grandkids. She don't mind helping me out when she's able to.
00:15No, it's three of them, 15, 16. I think they're all like 15, 16 now.
00:21I'm praying the budget don't get cut because I don't think nobody
00:25realize how many families are going to be affected and it's not just mine. It's like so many like families like children,
00:33senior, senior, I don't want to say senior citizens. I would say older adults that it's going to affect.
00:42There are some kids that only eat with, that only eat the pantry food.
00:47Like there's some like adults who don't probably maybe don't know about, um, don't know about like certain resources or
00:59It means a lot because it helps me get through the month.
01:05So usually at the end of the month, I'll be out of food.
01:09But if I go once a week, like you're able to, then I don't run out of food.
01:14I might not have the meal that I want to have or a meal that we would like like to have.
01:18But if we got to have some macaroni, then macaroni it is.
01:23So like just having that as a, um, like as a backup is good because I know like that we all got something to eat.
01:34It's like stuff like this is going on already. Like how's their future going to be?
01:55Like they're our future. They're the next leader. So it's like, man, are things going to get worse and tough?
02:00Or are things going to get better eventually? Like, and then like, you know, I do have like two special needs kids who, who are very like picky or adults that got toddlers.
02:10Toddlers are picky in general. So that makes it even a little harder.
02:13So I could just imagine like if there was like only rice and beans at the food bank, how many kids would really starve?
02:19Because how hungry would a child have to be to eat rice and beans?
02:23Like, would it be, would it be day one day two or would they have to start for like three days and they're like, you know what?
02:31At this moment I'm starving. I'll eat the beans.
02:33I'll see you.
02:35This is good.
02:38Pew, pew, pew, pew.
02:41Ah, ah.
02:43You got me.
02:45You got me.
02:47That's the one.
02:49The one.
02:51And I didn't go.
02:52I don't know it.
02:53We were you, everybody.
02:54You got me.
02:55You got me.
02:57You got me.
02:58You got me.
02:59I don't know.
03:00That's my guess.
03:01I'll tell you if you have a little problem.
03:02You can go.
03:03You got me.
03:04You got me.
03:05You got me.
03:07You got me.
03:08You got me.
03:09You got me.
03:11I got me.
03:12You got me.
03:14You got me.
03:16You got me.
03:17The one for the same time.
03:19It's a very nice family!
03:21I'm so excited.
03:23I'm glad we are here.
03:25I've got to get a dinner with my dinner.
03:27I'll be back.
03:29We'll have the dinner.
03:31You've been here.
03:33I'm going to get a dinner.
03:35I'm not going to get dinner.
03:37I'm not going to get dinner.
03:39I'm going to get dinner.
03:41I'm going to get dinner.
03:43I'm going to get dinner.
03:45this is the working poor trying to make ends meet at the end of the day you know when we talk about
03:56all the costs that have gone up that we've all felt if you're renting an apartment these days
04:02you know how much more expensive it is as a housing shortage across the united states
04:06the cost of food has gone up the cost of insurance has gone up daycare is expensive all of those
04:11things continue to climb and if your income is going up and not going up as fast then you're
04:17coming to get food and i think because that that's the most variable part of your entire budget
04:20hi how are you i got it oh sorry
04:50we really want first to reduce the stigma of people coming we want them to feel welcome
04:57coming we want them to come and get fresh food so that may mean they need to come more often take
05:02what they can use a whole strategy around that was to have this market instead of calling it a food
05:08pantry call it a mid-ohio market have it open at night have it open on weekends because again all
05:12these people most of these people are working and so have it available when they can in their community
05:17and then the ability to have people get whatever services they may need wrapped around that so
05:23for us it's a whole person kind of treatment it's driven from the idea of when your kid says where
05:30you're going mom and mom says i'm going to the market that's a heck of a lot better message
05:34than saying i'm going to the food pantry for that child
05:47you can get two rolls
06:08These are people, these are Americans who need help and at the end of the day, they're
06:30playing by all the rules, they're doing everything they can to make sure there's food on the
06:33table for their families and for themselves and we need everybody coming together to make that work.
07:03Who wants some oranges? Come on, drink, come on Chase, oh, Dream's going to be the only one hungry.
07:20I eat all my food is in the middle. You can't do, you can't survive without, like, you can't survive too long without eating.
07:30Like, you won't have your nutrients that you need from the food, your vitamins, and things start lacking, so it's important.
