How will food and necessities be made available and distributed if there is a depression?

In the 30's Depression, food became scarce and many things unavailable. But then 50% of the people grew their own food. Every body traded for goods and services because there was no money. No jobs. Losing a house is one thing, but no food is quite another.

Those were a special kind of people in New Orleans. Basically, food and necessities will be dropped from planes and distributed first come first serve.
