can you name a single local assistance program in your state? discount internet provider? street kitchen? pro bono legal aid? immigrant rights group? dental school care options for people without insurance? which restaurants have “kids eat free” nights? no-cost financial counseling services? loan mitigation services from credit unions? tenants unions? hell, even a local church with monthly filipino dinners that doesnt ask questions? do you know the locations of your local foodbank(s), cultural centers, CHILDRENS CONSIGNMENT SHOPS????? you can sit on your high horse and shame people who havent seen the interior of a food bank or clothes for kids once or twice, or, if community means more than the tumblr buzzword of the month to you, you can spend like 5 minutes to share local community assistance services flying under the radar because people dont know to seek them out. but thats just my opinionnnn
literally where was all this talk about community and community activism you expect everyone to already be involved in before last night lmaoooo
#like i was a free lunch kid we got our school clothes at the nonprofit consignment shop and dinners at ‘kids eat free’ restaurant deals#my dad ate half his meals growing up because of the black panther school lunch program. my family wouldnt be here without community program#my mom works for a loan mitigation program for our local credit union! she does a yearly high school financial literacy convention!#theres soooooo much out there . however shaming people online for not knowing abt it or partaking DOES NOTHING TO HELP
