Funny how "nice" and "caring" these businesses are until they have to put some skin in the game. Our Food Not Bombs chapter was kicked out of a publicly accessible park owned by one of these types of businesses because we served food to the needy there on Christmas day when they didn't want us to. We had a storage container there with all our supplies they locked us out of then gave us 24 hours to pack all our stuff up and relocate. We actually still serve food there but we have to haul everything to the location and haul everything away again later when we're done.

Yep! I remember the cops watching us at my fnb when I needed it. The neighbors kept calling them on us at a public park. Like dude, the food’s free and there’s usually more than people take, please come, have some and appreciate that your neighbors care enough to make sure everyone gets to eat.
It’s a radical organization, sure, but it doesn’t have to be. We could decide that giving food without asking questions so food doesn’t go to waste while people go hungry isn’t radical but instead is the default.
