During the Great Depression, free soup, coffee, and donuts were provided to the unemployed as a means of addressing widespread hunger and poverty. These meals were often served at soup kitchens and community centers, aimed at offering basic sustenance to those who had lost their jobs and savings. Such initiatives were not only about feeding the hungry but also served as a form of social support and community solidarity during a time of severe economic distress.
The government set up camps during the Great Depression to help the unemployed.
The unemployed faced extreme hardships during the Depression . They often stood in line for hours to receive food. Many of them were homeless.
