I hope Lancaster law enforcement and their volunteers do a better job than Palmdale did at the last event in East Palmdale directing traffic and enforcing the line. Per news article similar to this one, I followed the rules getting in line for twice to be directed out of line to start over again. Those guys were so confused.

Hopefully the people who need the extra food/help get it. Then again this is lancaster majority of the people up here take advantage of free items being given away like they’re entitled to them, it makes me sick.
Kathy Smith says
