  • I think you hit the nail on the head. To offer an anecdote, a locally beloved small business owner was recently diagnosed with cancer and was hospitalized. I asked one of his male employees if they’re passing around a hat to help cover his bills, or at least signing a card. The guy laughed and said “That’s a question for one of the girls. Men don’t do that kind of shit.”

    It made me so sad. This guy was fighting for his life, and one of the men he’s closest with acted like he didn’t give a shit.












  • I run it. :) It’s anonymous by design but I watch it from my window to see who’s coming and going. I did put feelers out on the FB group and the most-requested item was canned meat, so I make sure to stock chicken / tuna / salmon / spam. I’m sure a lot of people don’t want to publicly admit to using the pantry, though.

    Maybe I could put a clipboard inside where people can write down their requests?
