I’m concerned that some people don’t have food.This is a problem because some people could get hungry. Also because of Covid-19, more people are losing their jobs, and if they can’t earn money, they can’t buy food. Will you please put in the news about the community fridge and food pantry? There is a fridge and pantry in Harvard square (52 Church St.) where people can get food for free. People can donate what they can, and take what they need. It is important for people to know about it. Thank you for reading.
Armando, first-grader at the Graham and Parks School
Good for you, Armando! Thank you for letting everybody know.
Peace Be Unto You,
What happens when poisinous,unsanitary, and pollutted food items find their way into the fridge and pantry? What happens if homeless people start getting sick or begin dying from eating food that they have taken from there? What gaurantee that the food taken from that location and source is safe? Has the Board of Health certifide that the fridge and pantry is safe for human food consumption? Even though it’s good that people give food to the homeless, I think it might be a bad idea when you look at the possible harm that can arise from it’s use and being, designated as a safe source of food for the homeless.
There are alot of peoples out there that hate the homeless, and that will jump at every opportunity to do them harms and wrongs. That fridge and pantry is such an opportunity. There is no gaurantee that the food at that location will continue to be safe for human consumption homeless. Think about it.
Yours In Peace
