It’s been exactly four years since Shannon Benjamin planted a filing cabinet on the curb outside her house in Bay City, Michigan.
She filled it with food, hoping that people passing by and in need would feel free to help themselves.
Now, there are food-filled filing cabinets all over town.
The need in Bay City, as in so many towns across the country, is so great that even the big food pantries are registering unprecedented demand.
Also, on any given Monday, a caravan of cars begins to form downtown. The drivers pull their cars into the parking lot of the local Salvation Army.
These drivers offer a weekly grocery pick-up for essential workers who are employed, but struggling to get by.
Does your city have pity?
If not today, when?
