    Free Food

    They're going to get OzBargained…

      Well hopefully all the resellers and brodens stay away for those who actually need food.

      Guess it’s for marketing/PR purpose.

        Which marketing company do homeless people use?

        • Scrooge McDuck on 11/12/2020 - 17:26

          White Pages, Yellow Pages and anything else that will take a flame.

          • jv on 11/12/2020 - 17:41

            @Scrooge McDuck: I would have thought homeless people would just use Salvos or some similar group… Not facebook.

            • Techie4066 on 12/12/2020 - 09:12

              @jv: There are so many misconceptions surrounding homeless people here! A lot are not on the streets, majority are couch surfers who may have internet access. The stereotyping is unreal.

        • DevilsInDetails on 11/12/2020 - 18:17

          Telling people via FB that they are doing a charitable act for those homeless.

            @DevilsInDetails: There's nearly always and ulterior motive to these offers when they start to advertise them on social media…

            They should just focus on the homeless people around their area if they really want to help, and stop trying to get free publicity by exploiting people in unfortunate positions…

              If you actually care then perhaps you should do that too.

              @jv: What would you suggest? What should they do to let people know that they're giving away free food?

    • TheRealCJ on 11/12/2020 - 17:17

      Many. Homeless people aren’t in 1893. They have internet access. Libraries have free computer usage. Many homeless people even own technology. Because a 100 dollar smartphone costs less than a week of rent, and there’s free wifi all over the place. And not all homeless people are freaking bag ladies, they can also be people who sleep in their car, who are temporarily down on their luck.

          I’m sure, there are plenty of support groups for homeless people, and Facebook for better or worse is still the primary social media website. I would be very surprised if there weren’t multiple facebook groups for homeless people to meet and discuss things relevant to them.

          Of all the posts that you could've chosen to not be an obnoxious prick, this would've been the winner.

          Give it a shot. Just once. You might find that participating in some form of appropriate human interaction actually feels nice?

        Many homeless people even own technology

        WOW!
        Do they?
        And dwellings and shares and automobiles and gold and land and yachts and … and cryptocurrencies as well?

        WOW!
        How lucky they are. Product of a voluntary humble and down_to_earth lifestyle.

        Priceless.

        Seen homeless people in the city (Melbourne) spending their day on their smartphones quite a few times

          Getting mad at a homeless person owning a smartphone today is like getting mad at a homeless person for owning a radio in the 1990s.

    I think physical outdoor posters work better than FB in this case?

      It was actually in the newspaper. I just found the Facebook post as it came straight from the business.

      You probably love fancy Indian food, not plain rice and dal. I've been to some Indian eateries in Melbs that offer all you can eat for about $6. Interesting experience if you crave some homeless style food and atmosphere.

    The people trolling in a thread about a restaurant giving free food to people who need it should be actually ashamed. Pretty sad.

    rich folks say that the bigger problem you solve, the more money ull make so:

    2 biggest problems of humanity? HOMELESS PEOPLE AND HUNGRY PEOPLE

    but

    what if, just what if hungry people ate the homeless people ?

    whoa

    KA-CHING

    looking for people interested to invest in this opportunity

    • Wystri Warrick on 12/12/2020 - 10:39

      Username checks out!

    • LFO on 12/12/2020 - 11:52

      what if, just what if hungry people ate the homeless people ?

      Big problem. Big one!

      After finishing with the homeless they will go to your house. And your family! By then the hungry will be big and strong. Unstoppable then.

      Like pyramid selling.
      Not a feasible business opportunity.

  • IpGem on 11/12/2020 - 21:50

    First, it's plausible that someone is taking the initiative, really great work there!! But how to know who's homeless and in a real need? Just a concern for the people who're in a real need and not freeloaders who can afford to eat elsewhere.

    • Duck Mode on 12/12/2020 - 07:20

      Unfortunate, but not worth cancelling the whole thing on the who need it just because of some potential/hypothetical jerks.

    • morse on 12/12/2020 - 09:13

      I really don’t think many people would take free food that is clearly meant for people in need.

    • LFO on 12/12/2020 - 11:54

      Just a concern for the people who're in a real need and not freeloaders who can afford to eat elsewhere.

      Would you if not in need?

      It will not be a banquet. Just food.

    • Deseret on 22/12/2020 - 11:32

      I know I'm late to the party/shitshow but if you can be bothered to go to the restaurant and humble your dignity to ask for a single free meal consisting of probably just lentils and roti (and maybe rice) while masquerading as homeless, you are the likely the target 'in need' demographic they are looking for anyway.

      I know it's "just a concern" but it's also really not your concern.

    The hate on this thread for provding someone who is homeless, is way to the height.
    Ever heard about word to mouth, they have posted this msgs at quite a places, so pretty much word should get out and its a good treat to have a belly full during a festival that 95% Indians dont even have this Christian festival Culture as they are mojority Hindus. Its good to provide someone with food who is going hungry while others are exchanging expensive gifts and having a feast.
    Think about it.
    So pretty racist comments i see here and its disappointing the keyboard warrirors decides to prove their point with comments like that with belly full. Keep going on.
    May be sometimes visit India and see how much free food Gurudrwara and Temples give to homeless people, you dont come close to that with your narrow mind.
    This comment section ticked me off sicne I have been to India and see all the charities of Sikhs, Jains, and Hindus do.
    You keep going @Memroies of Indiaipswich.com.au

  • SqueezeMePlz on 12/12/2020 - 21:17

    This is kind gesture. I hope they’re paying their employees well too unlike most of restaurants who exploit their employees like The Rolling Dough in Sunshine VIC on Ballarat rd who’s employee told me most of them get paid 10$/h and their employer cut tax from their pay.
