Bay Area Food Bank Helps Alabama Families Affected By The Oil Spill

In Bayou La Batre, Alabama, fishermen are forced out of work by the BP oil spill, leaving numerous families without income.

To meet the immediate needs of Alabama fishing families, the Bay Area Food Bank is providing free canned foods, fresh produce and more. At a recent drop off at St. Margaret Catholic Church, the Army National Guard helped distribute 10,000 pounds of food to struggling families.

The Bay Area Food Bank also serves communities in coastal counties of Mississippi and Florida.

I bet they didn't ask if you are a Democrat or Republican in order to get food! The Republicans complain about everything, rather than asking what can I do to help? We are all Americans through good or bad, and now we must come together, to help the people who are hurting, and forget about the politics.

It goes beyond politics, BP, or what ever. This is helping fellow Americans when the are in the face of trouble. This sort of effort is positive and needed. Good work.

It's OUTRAGEOUS... not because this post.... no ... BECAUSE the responsibility it's not from the respectability persons that they living in Alabama... They are fisherman and normal persons, they give food from the sea for people in America... RESPONSIBILITY is from BP (British Pollute-land).. Why they don't give help for them ?
That it will be the good responsibility for them...
It's DEGUEULASSE (in french) tout simplement....

Yeah they are giving out food. A year from now these people will still be destroyed and the Republicans and the Corporate Dems will be calling these people lazy, a drain on the country and losers wanting entitlements. You know Im right.
