Dumpster diving?

A roommate and I are currently unhoused for a couple of days. Are there any restaurants in the 23rd street area that are known for throwing away a lot of edible food?

Catholic Charities on 11th St has a food pantry 10am-2pm Monday through Thursday. They give out special items for unhoused people that don't need to be cooked, sometimes they have hygiene products too. I volunteer there. Your friend just needs some identification. I hope they get the help they need. Also, they don't need to be religious (I'm an atheist).

Also we get donations from Publix, Krispy Kreme, and Aldi if you can't get to 11th St.
