(8,646 posts)It would HELP, sure. No one is saying that's all they need. What a load of crap. Obviously there's a bigger problem here, but to change society takes a long time. To bring a few used mini fridges to the local homeless shelter is something that could be done in a short amount of time and make a big difference. I don't understand your irate posts. Of course, not all homeless shelters are the same, but I've seen a few on a documentary and some of them for women and children specifically (the longer term kind) have separate rooms for everyone, and shared bathrooms and kitchens. I'm guessing some don't have fridges and stoves...well, then, let's get those things into those shelters - better nutrition for the children is a need NOW. They can't wait for society to change and solve the problem.
