$1,800 Food Donation? What's that Gonna Do, Girl?

Woman in Opelousas donated $1,800 in food to a community (charity fridge).
Gone in 45 minutes. We have some fat frickers who wander around daily going from fridge to fridge to Wal-Mart to McD's saying they are starving.
People might criticize her for putting a bunch of processed Lunchables and pizzas and lunch meat in there. In her defense, she probably thought it needed to be items that would last a few days or a week.

Let's see how those "free groceries" in NY works out...

I own and operate a public food pantry - - and before I opened it I had to wrap my mind around the fact that this can potentially happen. In fact my pantry has been wiped out once - - - I can say is feeding people is about filling a need without judgment. Who knows how many people took things? People that visit food pantries do not do it as a permanent way of life…. Whatever their circumstances are, they clearly have a need.
My point is, you if the model of your charity is that you make food available to the public anonymously- - you just have to do it without judgment and know this kinda stuff will occasionally happen. All you can do it hope everything got distributed to people who had a need.

This sounds like a project for Mark Rober.

At least they didn't steal the fridge.

Do you live in a "high-trust" community?

I have no problem with helping out people who are working and struggling. My issue with some of the people in need is if you work in a downtown area of any mid-size or large city, you will often see the same people who go get this food. Then they go hang out at a library in Houston, San Antonio, N.O. ...and they watch you tube videos on public computers for hours. I do a lot of work travel regionally in the South. There are a lot of long-term several years needy folks.

Will be fun to watch. They are supposedly putting limits on how much “you can check out”, so you’ll know there will be fights at the register when people inevitably go over. Plus you’ll just have people bringing the whole family so they can all get their own carts

I'd bet that some of them absolutely do.

These charity fridges that are connected to social media are strictly performative.
No one can do nice things anymore without blasting it to everyone.

I never noticed that the neighborhood library boxes having this same problem of being wiped out.

You cannot issue a blanket statement like you did because it's simply untrue. There are people who legitimately need help, and there are those abuse the system

I saw a guy in a truck at the food fridge in NOLA by Costco unload all the food in it.
The point is to take a meal or two but to empty it out.
