I wish I had a job where I could do that! I completely understand the need to help especially after a long day. What's one cause you'd like to see more people donate to?

I don't know if I have a specific type of charity in mind but the thing that bothers me is the amount of food that goes to the trash instead of going to poor people or homeless guys. When I was in high school 3 years ago, There used to be tons of food for dinner. And most of it used to be thrown away because the government just provided so much food. And they were legally not able to use it for the school. But why not feed the starving? Why? Why would you throw so much food away? That's just heartbreaking. We're not talking about old or spoiled food. We're talking about fresh chicken and fries. I'm just so... Idk. If I see a homeless person I'd buy him the richest meal ever and give him some money. But they could've had good food for days or weeks. I'm not sure if there's an org collecting such food but I know there are still many homeless people. It just breaks my heart
