‘Wilted and Molded Asparagus’: Fed Up North Carolina Mother Bashes Assistance and Food Pantries After Being Given Rotten Food

A North Carolina mom went to receive help from a food bank. Unfortunately, she was less than pleased with the service she received. Instead of actual help, the food bank gave her a pitiful array of food she wasn’t even able to use. Now, she’s being transparent about what is given to people in need and why it’s not okay.

Asheville assistance is a joke. It is bad enough I can’t actually make real meals for a week out of any of the food i was given in the first place… but take away everything molded and expired, we don’t even have a days worth of meals. No fresh produce and no bread. In the box to the left is everything I will be donating because it is full of items my child will not eat (Special K cereal, Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Corn Meal, box milk). All we are keeping from this food box is 2 cans of tomato sauce, chicken soup, 1lb ground beef, dozen eggs that expire in two days, orange juice that expires in two days, jelly, peanut butter and Scooby Snacks. Though we are choosing to give some back because we won’t eat it – there are still not efficient ingredients here to supplement a weeks worth of meals. There is no excuse for giving someone that is just trying to feed themselves expired and molded food. #Asheville #Help…
