Are Food Giveaways Also Responsible For The Decline Of Youngstown Grocery Stores?
This question was posed the other day. If someone is getting FREE food, why would they go to a Youngstown grocery store to buy food? Numerous food giveaways take place in Youngstown every week. As a matter of fact, one is scheduled for the Covelli Centre this coming Saturday.
I seriosly doubt it for the very simple fact that these food give aways can not and do not supply all the food that a family needs. In fact, at best it suppliments what they need ... some produce ... a few canned goods ... bread. No family could survive on just what they get at a food give away alone.
