Time for the EU, Globalist Billionaires and private donors to Step-up.

How about America 1st?

Before the US Tax-payers fund another NGO and allow the DC Swampers to continue getting rich milking the system. A system where Admin Salaries tend to be the largest benefactor. We need to take care of our own 1st.

Because, here is the US, there were approximately 3/4's of a Million homeless individuals in the USA. And of that number, there are about 40,000 were Homeless US Military Vet's begging for food & shelter on street corners.

UPDATE
According to several Real News sources, the Food Funding has been restored for now.

We buy by the month, due to the monthly paycheck. We tend to purchase and store what some might call a sizable quantity of food items.

The Wife & I use to, donate Food items that were reaching B.B. dates within <30 days to a few local food banks.

WHY USE TO?
Ever watch a person pull up in a newer model Mid-Size SUV, washed and waxed down the tires, to a food bank?

Watch them go in, load up, then see them at another food bank, on the same day loading up again? We did and quit donating to food banks.

Now, we donate directly to our area's real street Homeless and not to "causes".

It is simple, a Wally World Plastic bag with 3 meals worth of basic simple packaged/Zip Lid canned food items costing maybe $7.50. Nothing fancy, but all eatable.

During the Warmer months, we do yard sales looking for Used usable Sleeping bags & winter items like coats.

Thank-you Mod's.

After over a 2+ years, I finally read and understand why certain comments by certain people are seldom left up.

#5 Jack C7508 is just an annoyance with no intelligence or even snark or actual humor. A teen's maturity with a mind for smut and buttsex. Begone, troll!

#7 My suspicion is that Jack is either a poorly trained chatbot or a cautionary tale about training your language model on internet scrapings.

As for the death for millions thing, I'm so old I remember when overpopulation was the greatest threat facing humankind. Didn't you guys read The Population Bomb? It was written by Paul Erlich who later won the Nobel Prize for Being Wrong About Everything.
