Wow, so the shelter is basically complaining that it's a PITA to unpack and transport free shit.
When you read about companies that just chuck out food instead of donating it, you can kind of see why.
> In addition to the downtown location, Mary’s Place operates six other shelters in Seattle, serving individuals and families with 680 beds each night. But Amazon didn’t deliver the food to the other Mary’s Place locations, nor did the shelter consistently set aside additional resources to distribute the donations each night, according to four sources.
Amazon is the bad guy because they only donated to 1 of the 6 shelters.
> But Amazon is the fifth-most-valuable company in the world, with one of the richest men on the planet at its helm, leaving little doubt that the company could be doing much more to ensure that its local philanthropy isn’t making life tougher for people on the front lines.
Bizarre hit piece.
