Reply #47: The dichotomy of the entire situation is awful

[LibraLiz1973]

Your living in a condo worth almost a 1/2 a million dollars and you can barely afford groceries.
They are clearly living in the same neighborhood and literally can't afford to eat for 3-4 days a week.
Your trying to help them but no one you have talked to yet cares to help.

Can I suggest that you talk to some of your neighbors? I'd go door to door.
Take empty grocery bags with you and ask each neighbor if they can donate a few cans of
soup, some bread, peanut butter, tuna, produce, beverages etc.

Chances are if you ask people will gladly give you what they can. Very few people
have the stomach to watch people suffer. Your neighbors (and you) may have been blinded
to the situation up until this point, but once you know the situation... it seems likely
you can at least get them some FOOD.

Edit:

I noticed someone else mentioned calling restaurants= its a great idea.
I know alot of bagel places have to throw all the extra bagels away at the end of the day.
You might want to try there first. Bagels are great to freeze & throw in a toaster whenever!
