Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

    Churches in concept are amazing. They are a place for people to gather and learn about morals and ethics and such, to bond with the community. And then there is(maybe) free food after service where you can eat and chat with other people.

    And the other services they can provide, like food banking, homeless help, counseling, community space, being a safe space, a refuge with resources. I’m glad there are some institutions doing it. I hope they are the snowball that triggers the avalanche, but so many churches are money vacuums draining their communities :(

    I would love to see more churches climb to the top and better their commuities. I choose to be hopeful. One step at a time :)

      I think you failed to understand what churches do…

      True Mega Churches tend to be nothing but griffs, but you should try the old school brick and mortar, pews made of wood, kind.

      In fact religious groups in general typically are the ones getting the most done on charity work.

      Edit: Wait, no you understood, I’m just weird

        What did I fail to understand? I said some churches are doing the work of charity and that I hope the many churches that don’t (the griffs) will follow the example.

            Quite late, but I personally like it when my apology is recognized, so I’m here to say no worries at all. We communicated and sorted it out 🤘
