I am director of a children's ministry for kids whose parents are drug and alcohol addicts, can't hold jobs, basically just can't survive in everyday life.
There parents poor choices are why there parents are, where they are. Failure to dedicate themselves to hard work, perseverance, in life, and learning to be willing to come in early and stay late are why they struggle and take every week from the food bank.
It's ok to take from the food bank, but the day must come where you have to be on the other side of the table, handing out, it's hard for me to see the same people in the line year after year.
All I can do is pray for them, and try and be a compass for there kids, so they don't repeat, break the cycle.
