This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in #food security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).
But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️
@Sheril I don’t get it.
I’m thinking all those would have had way more effect going to a food bank. Or taxes, in the case of a sane gov.
Here we see a restaurant profiting off the charity of people, on top of some of those meals likely never getting used up at all.
@Sheril Context matters, and this seems to have been just a way for the pub owner to show some kindness.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I think I found a more detailed report on the place where the pic is from: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/restaurants-meal-donations-ottawa-valley-1.7031660 Interesting point being that the owner used to foot the pay-it-forward bill, at least in the beginning. They seem to have emphasized the aspect of socializing at the pub, not just feeding the hungry (unlike a food bank). Looks like it’s permanently closed now.
