A quarter of military families struggle to afford enough food. Northwest lawmakers are trying to help.
Sun., Feb. 18, 2024
 
By James Hanlon
and Orion Donovan Smith
The Spokesman-Review
Sara Jemo picked up a can of tomato soup from a wagon of groceries, crossed out the bar code with a permanent marker, then placed the can on a shelf. She repeated the process until the cart was empty and the shelf was stocked before she opened the Fairchild Food Pantry on Thursday.

The pantry isn’t for just any family in need. It’s for low-income military families.

The modest pantry on Fairchild Air Force Base distributes about 1,500 items of food to just under 100 families a month. Many more could use it, said Jemo, the pantry’s director.

“No one risking their life serving our country should go hungry,” Jemo said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The government does everything it can to make damn sure illegal aliens have everything they need but not the families of American service people?  There is something horribly, horribly, wrong with that picture. :wtf:
