As a Keep Oakland Beautiful volunteer I have picked up hundreds of pounds food, bread, fruit, ready to eat meals, energy bars dropped of for the people living on the streets. What did not become stale the rats had been at. After finding a syringe in a energy bar I consider every thing suspect. This food needs to go the food bank and shelters where it will not go to waste like this.
David you are absolutely right. The food donations should go to a good bank not directly to the homeless where it ends up wasted and adds to litter on the streets. Donators mean well, but direct delivery is not the right way.
