Free corn was often distributed to the poor during times of famine or economic distress, but the frequency varied by region and historical context. In ancient Rome, for example, the grain dole was a regular practice, providing free or subsidized corn to citizens. In the United States, similar programs emerged during the Great Depression. Overall, such distributions were typically responses to crises rather than a consistent, ongoing practice.
