Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I am really surprised the Salvation Army does not destroy stuff in front of people who need it.
Not sure where you're coming from, other than I know they had some kind of negative reputation in the past, I think for anti-LGBTQ stuff?
Either way, once I was in there seeing what they were doing, I'm not going to throw any shade their way. Never once did I see religion being pushed on a single person, nor anyone turned away for any reason. Granted that is one particular food bank, I can't claim it represents the entire organization.
Here is a good list.
My dad grew up in the Army, my grandmother was part of it until her death in mid 00s. I saw how they treated the people they were helping, if you looked too nice for help you got none (I fit here when I was on the verge of homelessness in the late 90s, despite volunteering with my grandmother in years previous), if you looked too bad you got no help.
Their soup kitchen gave small portions and always had leftovers. This was thrown away, not even given to the volunteers.
