In Person Activism

I live in a sober living apartment building. They sometimes get donation boxes from different places and you can ask the security guard to let you back to where they keep them and pick out whatever you need. I think I influenced them and got them into some good habits with that by bringing back to the wellness center on the bottom floor what I didn't use one month and explaining my reasoning that someone else might need it, because then later they told me to do that when I took a box a different month as if they had come up with the idea. Felt like I made a difference, even though they pretended like it was totally their ingenious social worker idea. Anyway, now it basically constitutes a food pantry anyone here can access with the security guard's permission. They give you resources in the wellness center that point you to local food banks and sometimes offer to drive people there. Others have their own cars and can drive each other.
