Work for Left Overs

Work Part Time at a Local Eatery.

Always make your shift the one that closes for the day. When you do this you will have many opportunities to take food home. Reprocessing certain foods to the next day is not always a good idea for the eatery, so many items of good food get thrown away not because its not good but because it wont make a good presentation like fresh food will. So tell them when they’re going to throw something out to let you know and you’ll take it with you when your shift is over.

Got Food Help

Many years ago when I was in my early teens I gained the friendship of three eating places that would save food for me and leave in their coolers and put my name on it. Sometimes I had to throw it away, but most of the time I picked through the stuff and always had plenty to eat.

Don't Let Pride Keep Your Stomach Empty

When you’re hungry the generosity of those in charge can be a huge benefit to you. So swallow your pride and seek the free food, because if you don’t take it they will just throw it away. And throwing good food away just doesn’t work for me.

Get An Insider to Save Food for You

You can also because I did it myself get someone working there to do it for you. When I was growing up I befriended a lady that worked at a small local bakeshop. And rather then throwing out food she would give it to me. Sometimes I would get doughnuts that had a crunch to them, but guess what when you’re hungry that crunchy tastes like the best food in town.

Life is a Journey of Help

Sound like something you wouldn’t do? Guess what when your get hungry your stomach will compel you to do many things you would other wise not do. The trick is to survive meet new people and through that process develop skills that will get you a job that pays hard cash. Then you can get acquired skills to aid your climbing up the ladder and then you can help someone else by giving them a helping hand like you received. Live is a journey of helping and being helped. My thought for consideration.
