Melissa Cook+FollowVolunteering Reveals How Loopholes Are ExploitedI volunteer at a community center distributing vegetables and meat every Wednesday. Certain families always grab the most, sometimes reselling items. Those truly in need get half portions. The rules sound fair on paper, but loopholes abound. Following rules penalizes you; bending them rewards you. It makes me question whether these policies help people, or just maintain the illusion of fairness. #CommunityAid #WelfareAbuse #FoodAccess #SystemLoopholes00Share

I thought about families who stretch benefits to the last dollar. And others who don’t have to. Same program. Very different realities. Is that fairness—or flexibility? #SNAPUse #BenefitSpending #FoodAccess #Inequality00Share
