In my view, this is how welfare should be distributed: locally and in-kind, rather than in cash. Parenthetically, I don't know why this information would be useful on a Democratic message board, as they assure us that this is the strongest economy in history and we are nowhere close to a recession. Maybe people needing food are Nancy Pelosi's artists and poets, whom she encouraged to quit working a few years ago.

And Privately! I.E. no gooberment. Local
non-government people can target real needs and can screen out scamsters and leeches more easily.
I don't know about adult incontinence supplies, but some food banks and crisis pregnancy centers (you know, the groups Pro-Abortion people want to erase) do stock and distribute disposable diapers for babies.
Back around the turn of the century,
, one of my son's Scouting friends had an Eagle Project in which they replaced their church's (then, our church) food bank's knocked-together 2x4 and plywood shelves with used industrial quality shelving. It was a Saturday of unload shelves, dismantle the old, set up the new, and organize the stock onto the "new" shelves. Part of an Eagle Project is the Scout whose project it is plans out the whole process, arranges for donation of materials and specialized labor (AR), gets volunteers (from the troop, parents, and friends), and manages the implementation. AFAIK, the church food bank still uses those shelves.
