Danielle Howard, a 32-year-old mother from northern Indiana, utilizes food banks and her $200 monthly grocery budget to feed her family of three. After her partner lost his job, the family turned to food pantries, as they earn just too much for food stamps. Danielle shares her experiences on TikTok to demystify food bank usage and reduce stigma. She emphasizes the importance of shopping at budget stores like Aldi to stretch their limited resources and offers practical advising for others seeking assistance from food pantries.
"There's no shame in taking advantage of things you need, and food is a basic human right that everyone should have access to."
"One of the biggest things I did to save money was to shop at Aldi. They have very low-priced produce and basic pantry staples that you can get compared to other major grocery chains."
