Evictions

The lack of jobs led to many families getting evicted, because they didn't have the money to pay their mortgage. The bank would take their house back, and throw all of their belongings on the street. It didn't matter the weather, even if it was snowing, or a blizzard was coming the next day, they would still throw them out.
The family had to fend for themselves, and soup kitchens were a great help in this time. They provided them with food, and a shelter while they ate. The lines to the soup kitchens would stretch all the way down and around the block, and would sometimes take hours to even get close to the kitchen, but people were grateful to have a source of hope. These soup kitchens could have been the difference between life and death for them.
