    1. People are nice. Most people with a stand alone freezer use their freezers. (Especially with all the free school foods)

      Delete
  2. The freezers are stuffed with the free milk and pizza

  3. We should throw a pizza party and give out all our extra pizza before it spoils.

  4. It would be nice if the people with freezers full of food could share some of the food with families that are literally starving waiting for the taxpayer-funded BMG grants. Especially today when all your freezer food is about to spoil.
    I'm starting a drive.

      Where are the BMG stimulus checks the government sent for the talmidim? Why is is taking forever to distribute? Were the funds already misappropriated before there was a chance to get them to the students??

  5. It would be nice if people would show a drop of hakaras hatov for the free food which we got instead of just complaining non stop.

    1. Hakores hatov is to the government for sponsoring it, and by proxy all the hard paying tax paying citizens. The schools and caterers that are distributing Are making a pretty penny. It's a business for them. This isnt chesed. If they were doing it as a chesed the items in the box would be something that can be more uselfy.

    2. Putting stale bread and non edible items is not chesed

    3. Blinzes and french toast only can go so far

  9. This township is a joke they made sure to have a public meeting during the storm when half the town had no electricity but not a word from them at all while people are stuck with no power. They should all resign in shame.

  10. What is this blood/plasma drive? They are actually taking blood and plasma at their location? Just walk in?
