It has always been my opinion that the best thing to do for people in that situation is to try to get food for them instead of just giving them money.

The petition gained steam, with hundreds of signatures. Subway agreed to donate two party platters to the homeless, which would feed about 20 people. That doesn't satisfy Brentzel. "If they really cared, they would do more about the situation." Very noble effort by the young lady. Unfortunately, you won't get much more than that from just one company, particularly since most Subways are individually owned franchises. |
