		<description>So many lies, lets video tape your food give away. You give one family boxes of food and give another family to bags of food. If you stop giving your family and friends, volunteers  more off the food. You would have more to give to the community.</description>

		<description>I am so disappointed that we are being ignored by the people who are supposed to help us who are in need. They should be ashamed for not doing their jobs. They do not deserve to work there and be professionals if they cannot even define what’s “at capacity” means.</description>

		<description>To deny Cutler and Orosi food to distribute is a shame and an justice, and makes no sense. Where is there a community with greater need? There isn’t, so why isn’t our community getting help? If the food is to help the poor and in need, we should get a share. It’s that simple. Anything less would suggest an inexplicable unfairness or dishonesty. Thank you.</description>

		<description>We need USDA foods to feed our communities. We are not currently getting any and are solely relying on fruits and vegetables that are given to us to help feed our families. We deserve theses USDS FOODS. Brown lives matter.</description>

		<description>For years, FoodLink has awarded the contract to Open Gates Ministries. Once a month, Open Gates Ministries distributes food to Orosi and Cutler. However, RCRC distributes food weekly. Who should really hold the contract? Most residents do not have cars or unable to find a ride to the bigger towns for distribution, leading them go to RCRC for food. The only issue is that RCRC does not receive the USDA commodities larger cities receive. We need these commodities to flow into the crevices of our Central Valley!</description>

		<description>We as a community need USDA foods to help feed our families. We are being pushed to the side and are only being given fruits and vegetables to live of off. The same fruits and vegetables we pick as workers in the fields. We need USDA FOODS FOR OUR FAMILIES!</description>

		<description>We need FoodLink to give us USDA food here in Orosi.I take care of my 4 grandchildren to help my daughter when she is at work. It&#039;s not right that the residents here don&#039;t get meat, milk, juice, cereal, eggs, oil and these USDA food to help feed our families. Please FoodLink think about us.</description>
