It happens every Friday: Hungry people, struggling to make ends meet, turn a church into a gigantic free farmer's market, and give away literally tons of fresh, free groceries to their neighbors. The food pantry is run by the people who use it, and serves everyone who shows up, without exception.
Because it gets all used up before the people who need it can get it.
This type of charity NEVER works, it's treating the symptom not the diseases. Your reaction to "starving" people is impulsive and not well thought out.
When you get past that, then we can talk about solving problems, not making them worse.
knocking people who hand out free Groceries ,of course this clown would prefer places like St Gregs check peoples ,housing and income before serving food .
@savemyplaylist Nobody said these people are starving. They simply feed the hungry, many of them are working poor. Can you imagine? Working and still unable to make ends meet.
I just read "Take This Bread", which (among other things) describes the founding of this food pantry. It's so awesome to see it in action! XD

haha, I've seen starving people and had friends on the streets; I can tell you those people are not starving.
I'd rather have people starve, then we'll actually see a revolution in this country.
