I give away a bunch of food, this is a poor area. So, I have several freezers. I can switch back and forth from the grid to off grid quickly, not only saves money but also keeps everything running. I have gotten selective on who I help and how, I am not enabling weakness and greed. We will feed someone, but we decide what they get, how much, how often and how they will pay it forward. The system works well so far. Bonus, when I need help it just takes a quick phone call.
