Nonprofit groups, parents and dietitians are among those calling on community members to hand out nonperishable food items along with candy on Halloween, in order to potentially assist some of the 42 million Americans currently served by SNAP.
I think the fun in Halloween is that you get to have fun with everyone and everyone is just having fun and eating candy.
If you bring in an actual foodline by having cans of peasoup and tuna for the needy, it becomes something very different. Plus imagine the sheer size of a can of tuna against a small chocolate bar. Hitting someone in the face with a snickers-bar isn’t going to be too painful. A can of tuna?
But why would they…?
Idk perhaps the richer kids were bullying the poorer ones who’s moms made them also pick up groceries from Halloween?
Admittedly we don’t celebrate Halloween like that. Some people try and once when I was alone on Halloween 20 years ago, some kids came to ring the bell about trick or treating and I was like a teenager and alone so just said I don’t have any went back into the basement to play Morrowind. Next day we noticed the side of the house had been egged.
I agree with this. This is not something that normal families should try and fix. Donate to a food bank so people in need get the food. Then fucking vote these fucks out of office.
Not everyone trick or treating needs hand outs. Not everyone in need is it trick or treating.
Literally the second paragraph.

Cheers. That always feels good. Kinda like getting candy. But not waiting in a foodline. I have tried both.
If you can’t just react to the headlines, like what is even the point, man! /s
