There are services to help families like that, although I personally don't really understand people needing them.

I was poor growing up. I spent more than one day a week walking up and down Deerfoot trail collecting cans and bottles to help pay the bills. We almost always ate bologna for lunch. I hated the stuff, but I knew the ham I liked was more expensive. To this day I often wonder what people thought of a 10 year old kid walking down Deerfoot trail.
