Idea: Food Box
Inspired by the repurposing of newspaper boxes into book-swap receptacles and art pieces, Craig Berman proposes a food box, where unwanted leftovers, canned goods and other food can be left for homeless or other needy people can pick them up. A great idea that I hope sees fruition (no pun intended).
Back at the turn of the millennium, I lived in an apartment building in Buena Park that had a bus stop right outside. More than one household had turned the bus bench into a "donation bench," where we'd leave unwanted leftovers; nine times out of ten what was left would be picked up by one of the residents of a nearby SRO or halfway house, and hopefully enjoyed. This takes the spirit of the donation bench a step further.
