Hey,
I made a post here earlier about my work attire so thank you all for the feedback.
I’m starting a new job soon but I still have yet to secure a place so I’m currently still homeless at the moment. I just need a little bit of food to hold me over for the month.
The staff at the food bank first asked if I was a student, then they asked me if I was employed and told me to show them the offer letter. One of them asked me how I lost the arm and I said I wasn’t comfortable in saying why.
They then finally asked me where I live and I stupidly said that I was homeless. They then told me that they can’t offer any assistance to me at this moment and urged me to leave.
I feel so humiliated and defeated. I thought food banks provided for everyone.
Not everything a food bank gives out is non-perishable.
You’d know that if you’d ever been to one. Unironically check your privilege.
As I stated earlier - the food is given out in ‘lots’ - It has perishables, and non perishables. They can’t give it to him if he doesn’t have a place to store it. (A “friends place” isn’t a place to store it either because then who’s to tell if the “friend” isn’t just using him to hit up food shelters for a second time?) A good portion of it would simply rot if he didn’t have a place for it.
Due to the way it’s all regulated, they can’t just keep some of it and give him only non-perishables either. (Due to people pinching stuff out of the lots to take home for themselves) Your ignorance is shining so brightly I can hardly see at this point…
It’s winter in Canada. Well below freezing.
They’re homeless.
They need food.
Shut the fuck up lol
You ever been homeless? I have. Only thing you seem to have less of is a brain.
