  1. Why is this event happening in Quarts Hill? Why not pick an east side or city center location where PEOPLE IN NEED can receive groceries! No walk ups permitted? If you can afford a car you can afford food! I don’t give to food banks to see the food given to people who don’t actually need it!

  3. No walk-ups will be permitted?? Seems to me the people who can’t afford a car would be the most in need. Can the poor wear roller skates and come? Ride a bike? Can a crippled person come in their wheelchair? None of which would be considered “walking”. We could just let the carless poor walk around and starve to death, but their corpses might block traffic and then drivers with an Escalade packed with food and a full stomach might get upset.

    • There are so many selfless people volunteering their time to deliver food to those that are unable to acquire food. Many deliver to senior communities on a weekly basis or more often if necessary. This is just another helping hand for people struggling.
