My old church in Lubbock is one of several who support a cooperative food pantry/health clinic/free meal operation. It usually manages to serve a few hundred people a week, about a hundred for the clinic. They have a dentist who volunteers his time to see 12 patients every other week. It is the only source of qualified medical care for many people in a city of 200,000+.
This is a great operation and I am proud to support it, but there is no way in heaven or hell it can replace the current safety net, as this cruel woman suggests,
