The WIC program is great because they give you vouchers for what you can buy with it, and it states exactly what you can get with it. You cant buy junk food items or soda with it. Too bad food stamps weren't done the same way. Wanna see how many people would be crazy because of that change?

Our church welfare system works the same way. They have a bishop's storehouse where the food is kept, and it's the basic's of everything you need. No junk food is provided nor is soda. Household items are included which food stamps aren't. You can get laundry detergent, bleach, aluminum foil, wax paper, toilet bowl cleaner, dishwashing liquid, toothpaste, toothbrushes, underarm deodorant, razors, shaving cream, and basically essentials for the home.

I'm with you on that Catie, the doctrine is sometimes hard to swallow but their values are something else. I have never seen a group of people who do for others as much as this church has. I mean, you just say the word and they are there. Amazing, simply amazing. Best part is, you dont have belong to their church for them to do anything for you. The love and support you get is a blessing.
