We've experienced it. You have little to no money to buy food. Maybe you have SNAP (Food Stamps) but they don't last you a whole month. Maybe you go to a food bank, or a feed in the park, a senior center that serves hot discounted meals, friends or neighbors who are buying in bulk and sharing, but maybe you live at a shelter that serves meals and well, the food isn't just bad tasting, it's food that some store donated because it EXPIRED.
We've heard about the bouts of FOOD POISONING and the fear about CALLING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
They can't sell this stuff but they can donate it, get a tax deduction, and serve it to homeless people who have little choice if they don't want to feel those hunger pangs.

SOVA GIVES OUT 850 CHICKENS (and the fixings) THANKS TO REPUBLIC SERVICES
SOVA Food Bank located on Vanowen and Havenhurst in the San Fernando Valley, gave out 850 chickens (along with corn, stuffing, yams, cranberry sauces, etc.) yesterday in a major give out that had hundreds standing in line. REPUBLIC SERVICES - a RECYCLING and WASTE COLLECTION company provided the chickens.
Homeless and Low Income people who benefited want to thank SOVA and REPUBLIC SERVICES. We're linking to that company above. We think it's interesting because so many homeless recycle for money.
