Free Lunch Program Research Paper

1316 Words6 Pages

I went to the Free Lunch Program on Saturday, August 28th. I got there at noon and people had just started getting their food. There was a line inside that went to the door. There were also quite a few individuals sitting outside of the facility. The first thing I noticed was that there were three police officers outside of the facility talking to two very calm individuals. I thought that this was a bit odd, but not many people around seemed bothered by it. It seemed like there may have been a dispute between the two, but it was quickly resolved and one of the individuals came into the free lunch program soon after the police left to get a meal.
I thought that the free lunch program was serving a pretty diverse group of people. There were quite a few older adults, middle aged, and even some early twenties to teenagers. However, the majority of the people there were all male. I am absolutely positive that there are many women and children that are in need of programs like the free lunch program.

  • Money Greed And God Summary

    295 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter two of Money, Greed, and God, Jay W. Richards says that the federal government doesn 't appropriately distribute welfare to those who need it. In addition, Richards says that the government should simply stay out of matters this small because they could be better handled by smaller more locally run organizations. In essence, the federal government is “too big” to know how to help the needy. I completely disagree with this assertion. Although the federal government is big and oblivious to who exactly needs what, it is still a necessary part of the welfare distribution system because of the money it has and all the power needed to deliver said funds.
