This reminded me of the way delivery trucks would leave bread, pastry, milk, juice, stuff like that, outside of little neighborhood corner stores in the early morning hours before the stores opened.

Because the adults in my life had to take off for work around 6am and I was too young to be left alone in the house or given a key, I was always wandering the streets until school started. I noticed all the donuts, juice, and milk left unattended and when I was hungry never hesitated to help myself to a free breakfast. I guess you could say it was the first privately funded free breakfast program.
