Charitable organizations provided bread lines to help the poor during the start of the Great Depression.
Bread lines were lines of people waiting for food, typically bread, provided by charities or government agencies. The Great Depression caused widespread unemployment and poverty, leading many people to rely on these lines to survive.
Social Security was not implemented until several years later, as part of the New Deal legislation passed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Automobile and meat lines were not commonly provided by charitable organizations during the Great Depression, as these items were more expensive and less essential than basic food items like bread.
