One of my neighbors has set up a simple bin outside her house.
She posted this on Facebook:
NEED GROCERIES?
There’s a bin of dry goods (pasta, sauces, tea, tinned fish/meat, ramen, canned soup, crackers, tea, beans, etc.) by my mailbox at ***. There are grocery bags in the bin too, so take as much as you need.
There was a time in my life when I was in your position, so I have an understanding of what you’re going through. I’m sorry, and I wish I could do more.
Take whatever you need – all I ask is that you leave the bin so I can restock as I’m able. I’ll check on it daily.
I’ve also included a list of local, state, and federal resources, but things change every day, so I’m not sure they’re all still good options. It’s a two-page list, so there should be help in there somewhere.
This seems like something most any of us can do.
