I am homeless and have heard about your group's food distribution program.

I never hear it advertised and don't know where the distribution points are.

Is there a continual schedule? I read in the newspaper that you don't distribute

food to people with, in or that have shopping carts. I would like to know can

you be more plain about this. Do you mean you won't give food to people with

shopping carts, or they can't put it in the cart? Please explain.

Thanks, that's good to know. Is that every Thursday?
I used to hear about the group in Waikiki. Do they still go there? What kinds of numbers do you see. I would want to leave my cart somewhere in eyesight, off property where I could keep an eye on it without being lost in a crowd.

The day is not good for me, but if it's a holiday I may try it. Sounds like an all day affair. Sounds like too much going on and too many people for me to effectively monitor the cart. Seems the people who really need food are faced with overwhelming obstacles sometimes. I have experienced more difficulty than people who get assistance from the state. Thanks for the info.

P.S. I don't "steal" shopping carts. It's not necessary. They're all over, left by legitimate shoppers and others that take them

and leave them all over.

[§633-16]  Unauthorized removal of shopping carts, etc.; notice; exceptions.  (a)  A person shall not remove, without proper authorization, a shopping cart, shopping basket, or similar device from the premises of any business establishment, including any parking area maintained for the customer of the business establishment, or any sidewalk or passageway adjacent to the business establishment, for any purpose whatsoever.

I am wondering if your organization may have changed the regulations about shopping carts. The holiday coming up would allow me to come to the Kalihi location on Thursday.

You can also give me information about holidays. Is there still a distribution?

We will not distribute until next week Thursday.  

Shopping carts are not allowed even if you own they as it would cause too much confusion.  

Please send any additional email questions to info@surfingthenations.comand the the Feeding The Hungry Team will handle your questions.

Have a happy Thanksgiving

MY FELLOW AMERICANS

Before I was a victim of A Conspiracy To Violate Civil Rights, Obstruct Justice And Harass, I had a job; a roof; food; savings and investments. I trusted those in power and government service to do the right thing. I trusted there were contracts called The Bill of rights and The Constitution, that I had a relationship with.


I sought help at various places that purported to and are charged with helping me and protecting my civil rights.

People without homes have as much right to be in the park during open hours and any other citizens. People without homes are the public.

Laws passed, to penalize people without homes, is what compels them to invent ways to survive with what modicum of comfort and convenience they can. They are not obsessed with "finding a way around the law."

Maybe when we think of people without homes as our neighbors, and not “the homeless” we will better understand how to treat them as people and citizens first.


Excerpts taken from an article in the StarAdvertiser:

State clarifies advice on feeding homeless  http://bit.ly/kPkH2C

[Most important, providers need to offer support services to help the homeless find shelter and work and build trusting relationships to encourage them to seek help.

"People come to them; it's a very different thing than going to the parks. The problem with parks is that it keeps the homeless there, and it makes public areas not as accessible to the public," he said.

Alexander said that he wants to avoid passing new laws that would criminalize the homeless or those who feed them, because "the homeless are smart. They always find a way around the law."

"The plan needs to provide for people who will not go into a shelter.”


THE HAPPY COINCIDENCE - WHOOMP THERE IT IS:

Homeless likely to be cleared from H-1 ramps before APEC

By Paige L. Jinbo

POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jun 30, 2011

DENNIS ODA / DODA@STARADVERTISER.COM

A few homeless encampments, such as these seen Tuesday, are back under the Middle Street interchange of H-1 freeway after similar shelters were removed in February.

Question: A year after officials cleared homeless encampments from under ramps at the H-1 Freeway’s Middle Street interchange, it looks like people are setting up tents again under the ramps and overpasses. With the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference coming in November, what is the state doing about this?

Answer: The state last cleared the area in February and schedules such clearances about every six months, said Dan Meisenzahl, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

No specific date has been scheduled for the next cleanup, he said. That could take place in August or September, but it will more than likely be done in late October or early November, closer to the date of the APEC meeting, Meisenzahl said.

“It’s a vicious cycle; after we clean out the area, they (the homeless) return a couple weeks later,” Meisenzahl said.

Before the February cleanup, state workers last cleared the homeless encampment in July 2010. Thirty to 40 people were living there.

Marc Alexander, state homelessness programs coordinator, said there has not been a growing problem under the airport viaduct.

People who live at the site are notified a week and a half before the clearing begins.

Workers with Waikiki Health Center’s Care-A-Van, an outreach program for homeless, go to the site to inform homeless people of the services available to them.

Clearing the area takes about two weeks. During past cleanups, the state Department of Transportation hauled away more than 100 truckloads of trash.

Meisenzahl said there have been talks to assign personnel to monitor the area, but there are not enough resources to do so.
