There's someone begging outside a grocery shop.

Do you ask what they want you to buy them? What they're allergic to? No—they might glom on to you, tag along. That'd be uncomfortable.

Do you choose items for them as you do your shopping?

🍏An apple, a bottle of water, and a package of mixed nuts are rich in calories and nutrients, can travel, and will keep without refrigeration.
🥯 A fresh muffin might crumble, but a bagel wouldn't. If the flour is fortified, it'd be nutritious, though does lean toward empty calories.
🧀 A package of cured meat or hard cheese can travel, are high in nutrients and calories, and would last a half day without refrigeration if it's not too hot outside.
🪥A toothbrush and tube of toothpaste can travel. So can deodorant and a pack of wet wipes.

For people who are struggling but don't want to accept charity (shame and pride 😢), when you let someone help you it's good for THEIR soul. That's a gift you can give in exchange.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 119: Kids’ Lit and Food Insecurity
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2681139/

Books for kids can be mirrors and windows, reflecting readers’ own lives or opening up onto those of others. When it comes to issues like hunger and poverty, portrayals in children’s literature have lasting effects on our collective understanding.

Alexia Moyer looks back at food insecurity in The Tin Flute (Bonheur d’occasion) by Gabrielle Roy, while Dian Day gazes forward with “Food Insecurity in Books for Children?” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i1.654) AND her own graphic novel (with Amanda White), Shy Cat and the Stuff-the-Bus Challenge.

Then, Ruby Harrington shares her thoughts on Dian’s article and the ways in which hunger and poverty need systemic, concerted attention from academics and governance bodies alike.

“'It is very difficult to understand how we will survive now with only $7. Our children will suffer the most,' said camp resident Mohammed Rahim, who said he and his wife were already struggling to feed their three children before the reduction. 'I am deeply concerned that people may face severe hunger and some may even die due to lack of food.'”

Food assistance slashed for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees struggling to survive in Bangladesh’s overcrowded camps will see their food assistance slashed. The change takes effect on Wednesday and is raising alarm throughout the increasingly desperate community. The 1.2 million Rohingya trapped in the camps currently receive $12 a month per person. The persecuted minority from Myanmar has long warned that amount is not enough. Under the World Food Program’s new tiered system, the amount each person receives will vary based on the severity of their family’s needs, with around 17% of the population getting as little as $7 per month. The WFP says that plan will ensure that all recipients will receive 2,100 calories a day, the recommended minimum standard for emergency food aid.
