Sweet jeeeeezus,-31 C here today. We only have one frozen water pipe. It's gonna be rough on a lot of people in my poor community. If my ancient vehicle starts, then I will try to get around to check on people.

Our local Foodbank in Wareham Dorset UK is in pretty dire straits at the moment.

Like lots of rural towns, behind the cute historic appearance there are high levels of poverty and social depravation exacerbated by poor housing and non existent public transport

Anything you can chip in would be really appreciated

Shopping in my small town grocery store a couple of days before US thanksgiving and seeing elderly people picking items off the shelves, checking the price and putting it back. These are not rich people. These are, in fact, poor elderly people on fixed incomes. We can't keep our community pantry shelves stalked with essentials.

Please don't with the "inflation isn't real" neo-libertarian talk. Please do contribute what you can to local foodshelves.
