Stumbled across this awesome new movement and I am so in love with the simplicity of this idea. People leave their leftovers on shelves that have been setup on poles so that homeless people don't have to go through trash to find food.
"WHAT IS A SHARE SHELF?
A Share Shelf is a little square shelf attached to parking signs on streets with heavy foot traffic, lots of restaurants and a high volume of homelessness. People can place any leftovers they might have from eating at a nearby restaurant on them.
After the food is left behind, hopefully a hungry person who might otherwise go through the trash will take the leftovers and enjoy them so they do not go to waste. Kind of like “take a penny leave a penny”, but with food.
With a tiny bit of help from Share Shelf– people who have too much can share their excess, and others might have the opportunity to get what is left a little easier."
