and who knows how tariffs will affect canned and shelf stable items... because we have to pay it.. not some magical person as Trump seems to think.. and they cut grant monies to the pantries .. that break it and then remake it strategy the DOGE kids used may works for tech r and d.. but is a disaster for people who have to make solid plans months in advance.. such as pantry administrators, grant monies, conservation groups etc
