There's a drug store chain near me that has a sign, if you need formula and can't afford it, they'll let you have their brand generic formulas for free. You just bring it up to the desk, let them know and they'll scan it and give it to you.

I didn't wanna say cause I can't remember if I'm right, but it's in Toronto so likely not something in the states.

GTA has a shortage of generic brand formula anyways, so good luck trying to find that on the shelf

Thankfully my kid is past formula age. Unfortunately he was on formula during that pandemic shortage shit show

We got lucky that my wife happened to be SAH and able to breastfeed. We know people who had issues breastfeeding and were really stressed about finding and paying for formula.
