Wrong. In medium to large cities, the homeless are everywhere. They're in our neighborhoods, they're on our way to work, they're outside our office.

- DoreenMichele 7y agoHomeless people mostly don't want or need items like flour and sugar. They typically lack a means to cook. They generally need hot meals and snacks that can be consumed promptly. They have little to no storage capacity and carrying things everywhere is exhausting. They do not appear to be the intended recipients of the types of goods made available in this manner.

- elil17 7y agoBut there’s already a system in place for giving food to people who obviously need it: just giving it to them
- abootstrapper 7y agoThat has nothing to do with what you said or my reply. I wasn’t arguing for or against little pantry. But to your brand new point, can there not be more than one system to give to the needy? Maybe you don’t want to carry can goods with you to work, maybe you don’t want to interact with strangers, maybe you want to help people at times you’re not physically in front of them. It sounds like you have a bone to pick with this concept but you lack a compelling reason to argue against it. Here, I’ll share my reasons for not installing one at my house. The wild animals will want it, the heat here is extreme and will cook its contents, and I don’t want strangers loitering in front of my house. Still it’s an interesting concept. It might work well for some people is some areas.
