Reply to comment by snerdaferda in Boston could be first municipality to require stores, restaurants, and hotels to donate leftover food by uxd

I'm not sure that restaurants want a line of hungry people outside all their restaurants at closing time every night --- it's not very efficient for the needy either (who knows what place will have food available and midnight/2AM isn't the only time when people want food). So if there are going to be distribution centers, then the food needs to get there (and get there safely in terms of what needs to be refrigerated, etc).

There wouldn’t be lines of hungry people outside every night, it says right in the article that local nonprofits partnered with these places would distribute the food

I was responding to a question about the cost for Dunkin' Donuts to hand out food at the end of the day.
