PSA for the North Granville community box. It is under 24/7 surveillance now. I have had a few people take advantage of the box. Instead of shutting down the box when most of the users of it are respectful, I have opted to install a camera. It moves with anybody that it detects so don't be alarmed. This is in no way ment to invade anyone's privacy and anybody using it respectfully will remain anonymous. This is strictly so we may continue providing this service to the community.
Some common sense issues I would like to clearly state are as follows:
This service is for anyone in NEED of help.
This is not meant to fill your pantry and fridge.
There are many people who rely on this so take what you NEED and save some for the rest.
DO NOT show up to a full box and take everything. I have grown wise to this tactic and it is disrespectful to not only others who need the help, but to everyone who stocks it.
Do not litter.
Be respectful to the neighbors. All of them.
You may park in the grass in front of the box when the grass is dry, but be respectful and watch the ditch.
This is a busy intersection, be mindful of traffic when pulling out.
Use at your own risk.
And I shouldn't have to say this one, but please do not private message me or my company complaining about certain food not being in it, or food not being there when you get there, or to request me to hold things. I would like to clarify there is a difference between asking a question and angrily messaging me. This is a free service we provide.
All common sense stuff
And don't forget we are a community. Feel free to add things to the box. If it continues to be useful to people and there are enough folks helping, I will expand it.
I want this to remain available. Help me keep it available.
