They make base 50k a year in LA, they’re 100% one paycheck away from homeless. Which honestly might be the reason they are doing this, working long hours doing menial labor is not good for a person so people naturally try to make it as easy as possible and to cut corners so their life isn’t any more stressful.

[@GameChanger597]

The hidden reason why they are throwing the food away is because the government is paying homeless people in LA to stay homeless. If there needs are met with donated food, then they won't need to be paid for staying homeless. It's a ploy to keep the city in disarray so that the public loses more money and more power and the leadership of California gains more money and more power. Simple as that.

After working at the Walmart and Fred Meyer delis, all I can say is this world is despicable with how much we waste on purpose.

[@ClownGutzz]

My boyfriend worked at a Walmart in Arizona last year, doing delivery pick up. Somehow one day the whole building lost all power, and used up all the generators’ power. So they had to shut down the store. Which is very rare. They quickly realized they didn’t have enough power to save the refrigerated food/meat/dairy. So they tried to buy and sell as much as the refrigerated stuff as they could before the generators ran out, and then took whatever bulk of it they could fit into their cars and drove it over to the local food bank for families in need. Obviously not a Walmart decision, but it was amazing to see caring people do stuff like that.

I've been homeless, and I can tell you that more than half the time the food I was given was either spoiled or out of date to eat, moldy sandwiches, rotten fruit...brown orange juice, yes it was so old it had turned brown. It got to the point where I refused the food because it was spoiled all the time. When I did bring it up to the lady she said that I was ungrateful...so I'm already homeless and now I'm ungrateful because I don't want to chance getting food poisoning while on the street...I had that happen once and it was horrible. These places don't follow food storage rules at all, I saw deliveries dropped off in the early am at a shelter and would sit outside with the rats and heat for hours. Then that same food was served that day. There needs to be harsher regulations for these places if they distribute food.

[@aisforaltruism]

@Run_Rabbit-Run Maybe that could be part of why they’re throwing stuff away? In the video, the food being tossed out seemed to be perishable-and disposing of it everyday guarantees fresh food for people on the receiving end. The integrity of the individual workers is definitely of concern, regarding how hard they try to disperse meals-some people gave less than a half-assed attempt, but some, like the people who seemed lazy but did end up going to the camp and had no remaining food. They worked smart, not hard-whereas some took advantage and didn’t even work at all it seems. But, in terms of the organization’s intent behind throwing food away…if they were to save the food, that would require more man-power in order to safely check the food. Which would defeat the purpose or cost them money they “don’t have” because cost/benefit etc. So, throwing away food that IS perishable, that clearly has been stored at room temperature or hotter (as the delivery teams repeatedly stopped and it did not appear they had coolers , or a sense of urgency for that matter, when delivering the meals) all day long, then RE-Refrigerating that food-it would seem that they account for human error/people who are likely to do the job-because they cannot guarantee the integrity of their employees, at least this way they can guarantee the food is fresh and cold, stored properly every day up to food safety standards. The.system.is.broken. *~*¡Louder for the people in the back!*~* We wouldn’t need to be pondering proposing regulations for this if we didn’t have homelessness in the first place! Homelessness would be significantly decreased if those in power had MORE EMPATHY.

Oh, the Lord sees. He said “vengeance is Mine; I will repay.” “Just as you’ve done unto the least of these, so have you done unto Me.” They better repent and confess that to the Lord and let Him give them a new heart. This is …. I have no words. Makes me just livid. Not only are the individuals corrupt, but the cover-up statement from the organization shows the depths of the corruption. It’s not to help anyone. It’s a FAKE non-profit set up to take donations from the kind hearted donors who DO care about people. Even so, come Lord Jesus. It won’t be long now. This is just a sign.

Its not her fault. She was ordered to do so by her boss and she was probably asked by her boss to not talk about it.

@@alileevilI respectfully disagree. It is partly her fault. At the end of the day we are all responsible for not speaking up. When you see something like this going down you gotta speak up!

So thankful you did put them cameras there. We don’t know how long they truly been doing this. This is so hurtful to watch they don’t care about the homeless. They just want to get some free money and say they helping the homeless to make it look good. 🙏🏾😔💔

Not the employees doing it manager/owner would have told them to do it they don't care costs them nothing.

Wow, they all need to be fired and LAHSA needs to lose their contract and pay for each lunch they failed to distribute among the homeless, shame on them

[@itsyooboii1464]

fire them & then what ? you still hold the same elected officials who were not suppose to let this happen from the jump. CA holds the 5th largest economy in the world yet it looks like a total dump. How? CA doesn't have a money issue. It has a spending issue. A lack of administration conformed by corrupt officials that've been running CA & every major inner city for nearly 100 years. Enjoy the fruits of what you vote for 🙏

I’m currently staying in a homeless shelter. Chris (the guy with the beard) was the one who helped me get into a “tiny home” community in Tarzana. He’s a good guy. I would still be on the street without his/lahsa assistance.

Wonder how much outreach he'd be able to do if he had to spend all his time distributing every last meal package . . . I think there is a need for reasonableness here. Glad you were able to receive help.

I worked at a shelter for the elderly through an agency. We drove to grocery stores, and picked up produce items. When we got back to the shelter, the guy told me to throw all of it out, because of covid, and to just keep the cakes and cookies etc. I refused. There is not one fiber in my being that would agree with wasting food, when there's so many people starving. This is INSANE, and all the people who wasted the food, should have charges of theft brought against them, because they wasted food intended for the homeless...

As someone that was homeless for 1 and a half years this is exactly why I hate social workers. They get so much praise, but this was my exact experience with all social workers no matter what shelter, program, or city I was in. Greedy, lazy, out of touch, overweight cowards and thieves. Stealing from both tax payers and those that already have nothing. Every single one I encountered.
