The Food Bank makes a regular weekly delivery to my SROs in the city. However, most of the delivery is raw vegetables (like potatoes, turnips, onions,etc) in some quantity. However, there isn't an oven or hotplate in the place. In my buildings, over half of the residents don't even have a microwave. Of the salad and fruit, mostly the food is rotting, with insects and fungus and won't be around very long. I estimate that we throw away about 70% of what is delivered. It 's just not in a condition that we humans can use. The Food Bank and the SRO managers (the Support Services organizations like ECS and TNDC) need to agree what can be delivered for the benefit of the clients. It is a shocking waste of food.
