lb_leeMori: So. Nobody's getting food stamps next month. And I needed to take a day to just... scream into my pillow and rant about the nature of evil, but it's cool! I'm better now! And I'm doing something about it! Maybe I could do something... FOR YOU!
See, we've discovered that we are a really good courier when it comes to getting stuff into free boxes! We've also discovered that we are good at helping people clean out their kitchens (and other rooms, but right now, food is the important thing). We've helped people do this and can give references!
So: is your kitchen full of herbs, spices, teas, drinks, or food that you are never going to get to? (Teas and herbs/spices are SO useful to people, and so often forgotten!) Does looking into your cabinets stress you out? We can help with that! We can help clean out your kitchen, disappear the bad stuff into the compost, and transport the good stuff to local free pantries so that hungry people can eat it! You get cupboard space, your neighbors get fed, I get to prove to myself the government can't break my spirit, and everyone wins!
This is an open offer for the general Boston area, but because we are a pedestrian and stuff like canned goods are heavy, we are most useful in the Arlington, Cambridge, Medford, and Somerville areas. We will be limited in how much we can carry, but we have two VERY sturdy 20 liter backpacks, a tote bag, and a heart filled with determination and spite.
Help us feed our neighbors! Spread the word to anyone around who might find this useful!
(I don't require pay for this. It is free, because I am MAD.)

Date: 2025-10-31 01:59 am (UTC)The on-campus preschool is doing a food drive as part of their Halloween parade tomorrow, and, let me tell you, buying stuff for the food drive last weekend felt so good. I won't singlehandedly save the entire population, but I hope what I bought will help someone(s) for a bit. The preschool is putting up food drive boxes in some campus buildings, and I'm planning to get a few more things to put in the boxes.
