Talking to Strangers Part III

1. In Part II, I asked a random stranger in the park if they'd seen my missing friend, and found out this stranger was homeless and had issues with access to food. Would you have done anything to help him with food?

I would have directed him to the nearest food bank.

I would have gone back to the park with food, hoping to see him again.

I would have set up a free food box on my porch, and given him my address so he could grab stuff to eat occasionally if needed.

Something else.

N/A - I wouldn't personally have gotten involved.

2. I told the guy in the park where the nearest food pantry was (walking distance from our park). I knew where it was, and when it was open - because my friend who is missing had talked me into volunteering there just a few weeks before he disappeared. Have you ever been to a food bank?

Yes as a client.

Yes as a volunteer.

3. I told one of the organizers of the food bank about this encounter at the park and he asked me to follow him into a fenced in area behind the dumpsters. It turns out hidden back there, there's a cabinet my missing friend had previously set up. His idea was to stock it with food specifically so that homeless people who can't store a lot of food, can come by when the food bank isn't open. They can get something to eat that doesn't require refrigeration or cooking. What are your thoughts?

That's a crazy coincidence that your missing friend might unknowingly be providing aid to someone who was enlisted to help find and rescue him.

Hmmm, that feels like more than a coincidence. Divine intervention?

It's cool that it happened, but if a person does good works in their own community, it's likely to benefit people within their own circles.
