How can we be most help to each other as times become more criticle?

As more and more people are joing the ranks of the unemployed, as families are becoming increasingly in jepordy; we need to find better ways of helping each other out. The support systems are strained beyond limits, there's less contributions because prior supporters are now in need of their own. The utility monopolies won't or can't help. So what can we do. On Social Security myself, I find at times I also need help. I live in a very rough part of Detroit, but; surprising as it maybe we still help each other out. I make sure at the first of the month, when I get my check, I provide two complete meals to the local food bank. Often when you get a bag from a food banks you don't get everything you need to complete a meal. One meal is spaggetti, Jar of Spag. sauce, extra can of stewed tometoes (stetch if too many people or extra if not), spag. noodles, bread,BUTTER, applesauce, and green beans. If I can I add a sweet. The second is soup and sandwich. A can of spam, tomatoe soup to put on top,bread, BUTTER, can of fruit, . Both meals get coffee, sugan, canned milk, and juice. In other words every thing needed to make that meal. In our neighborhood we know who we can trade "needs" back and forth with. People that won't take advantage and will reciprocate. Giving rides back and forth is a big deal with gas prices are high. We often share rides on the first of the month for grocery shopping, bill paying, etc. We must now become our brothers keeper. How do you feel about this and what are your suggestions to making life easier?
