- Our hidden cameras caught employees with the LA Homeless Services Authority throwing away cases of food meant to be distributed to those less fortunate.
The fact that these employees don't even have the consideration to help the homeless is bad enough, but the whole organization being corrupt, I say shut it down!
Shut them down and make them give the tax payers money back to tax payers. And put them in prison
@@randolphjones4814 They wouldn't pay it back
I agree -- shut them down and prosecute the managers and executives. We don't need to look overseas at the 3rd world countries for waste and corruption -- just look around here at home in the good old USA. Very disappointing indeed.
This resulted in dissolution of the organization. Not all were corrupt.
@@randolphjones4814 The government would take the tax dollars and send them to Ukraine…
Both the employees and LAHSA should be held accountable, but the person or board that approved the $800 million contract should also be held accountable for not ensuring that LAHSA was using the money properly, but the court system is lazy and pathetic and LAHSA probably won't be held accountable
mexs
dirty
but imagine wal street
Finally the corruption of lasha is being exposed
Image what they are doing with the money.
This is wrong on so many levels. Why throw out food when someone can eat it…. This is just evil! Makes my blood boil.
Antifa organization.
Because these agencies are in it for the federal money and not to help people.
You would be shocked how wealthy these people who run these agencies are and no one is ever housed.
Lazy liberals. Take the money and screw the homeless.
@@winning3329 Yes they receive millions
Fire ALL OF THEM 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
We need more investigative journalists in this world.
They seem to all jump out of windows or have their cars exploded… crazy coincidence huh?
The sad part is that these are city and county employees. Give me a city job with benefits.
They need to be shut down and defunded then charged with the crimes of fraud
Thats money taken directly from your check to fund that program just to be tossed away
Communism never changes. Government never changes. Let's see if a Private company would be throwing away their own food and product
hey pay our gas government!!
"They"? The employees need to be fired. Why defund feeding the homeless? Do you consider yourself a Christian?
But then they'll be homeless too... shouldn't we be trying to end homelessness instead of perpetuate it?
I love that you put them on blast without hiding their face. Now we all know who they are.
They don't care, these people are dirtbags
Yes kill them all!!!👹👹👹
Hamfists Man, ooh appropriate name... anyway, I agree; show these chubby scums faces, nice close ups and show all the pedophiles faces as well!
No because they're too damn lazy and don't give a s*** about nobody but themselves they're the scumbags and greedy and playing out lazy lazy lazy greedy greedy greedy I should be reported to the IRS you know tax you can pay that money 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💰🤑🤑
Put them on blast? Wtf? Did your keyboard throw up?
This was actually good journalism and not just talking heads riling people up. Thank you
You cant blame Republicans when its democrats running everything.
I didn't hear them mention expiration dates. 🧐
I am well aware that expiration dates are not 💯, but the agencies are not allowed to hand out expired foods due to the liability of potential sickness. Also, some foods do go bad, even in one day.
TRUE 😊 I'm glad He Told this story ‼️
I love the fact that they hunted these people down and followed them around, this was great!
@@brayz4boyz976 Bottles of water don't expire.
This is so heartbreaking ...evil is really apparent here.

Corruption, mass corruption.
FIRE EVERYONE!! Breaks my heart that the less fortunate are treated in such a way.
I hope they have stopped sending funding and reallocate that money to an organization who will be accountable in doing what is right.
Anyone who wants to do this should just call me up instead I’ll
Gladly go and pick that up and give it to the homeless disgusting how people like these are throwing food away!!!
Fire them and then what? LA is still filled with the same elected officials who were suppose to not let this happen from the start. 5th largest economy in the world yet this state is a total dump
Try it, I'm sure they are all in the city employee unions. These people cant be fired very easily. You guys dont know how government works
@@BEmeraldJade Exactly!!
Fired!? They need to be arrested and charged. They are robbing all tax payers not only by throwing away the food, but by not doing their fucking job. I don't want to pay these fuckers to go shopping.
When I was a kid and poorer, some of the homeless would share meals like that with me. There's many students, elementary, high school, or college who would appreciate that food.
Yes they do I see it all the time. They share amongst eachother.
So true. I remember my first year of college trying to make $10 last a week. I did it but at what cost?! Colleges shouldn’t be charging $200 for books and you have to pay per unit and don’t even get me started on parking. My point is a lot of people go hungry to make ends meet and seeing this is being disgusting. Why even take a job when you know you hate the homeless?!
I was shocked in 2012 how many kids were going hungry bcuz their parents were on drugs. A child was going hungry. The mom wouldn't feed the child the food the school sent home so the school made a deal with the Apt Manager to store food in her office so the child could eat. If your school has a backpack program, please donate
@@dazedgal most homeless are from drugs, alcohol, or mentally illness.
Yes this was sickening to watch but I'm glad they exsposed them
"Their isn't enough funding for the homeless"
Well 80% of it goes towards paying people who do nothing.
These people should be jailed on criminal charges.
$800 million in funds raised but ain't go no money
@look up what is the end result though. I don't get the point of "helping the homeless" if it just becomes a permanent cost that you keep paying up. Unless it takes homeless people off the streets, it shouldn't be considered. It might seem harsh, but just providing help to homeless people merely increases the population of homeless in a city. It should only be given with a requirement that they go get a job, take drug tests to show they are clean, etc..
@@simonphoenix3789 there are people on the streets that cannot work, hungry every day, alone and with noone. Sometimes these people take drugs to escape their reality for a short time cause they don't have any other options for real help. You cannot judge people who are going through a hell you yourself couldn't imagine, they all need help, regardless what your twisted opinion is of them or thier daily struggles.
@look up Is that an original comeback?
These people need to be prosecuted and court ordered to pay money to cover the food costs ! Absolutely evil 🤬
Oh man. They need to be held accountable. Perhaps a lot of community service in HOMELESS and soup kitchens for a year
They probably got fired!
Try watching some court cases. Nothing will be done.

Make them pay for everything they wasted. Garnish their wages for years if necessary.

LA Homeless Services Authority = Government. It's not a "nonprofit". Communism never changes. It's always an utter disaster, especially at feeding people. People will literally starve to death while the government throws away and hoards food
It's obvious these people didn't take theirbjob because they care for helping homeless.
BUNCH OF SCUMBAGS
Most definitely
this is one of the most senseless acts of evil. I really don't get it. . it's so backwards.
They should all be fired. What a disgrace!
Exactly...why sign up to feed the homeless if you don't want to do it? It's evil to throw away food when you know there are people who need it
Send them to jail and let them be hungry without food.
Communism never changes. Government never changes. Let's see if a Private company would be throwing away their own food and product
Beat them on camera
@@nerobaal6655 I like this idea.
Pathetic...they need to be fired!
This is how news reports should be. We need to be aware of things like this. They are awfully comfortable doing this for a reason. Taxpayer money is being wasted like crazy.
Nd it shows that they don’t give a DAMN😪😪wow
They throw out food because if they give it away and someone gets sick, they can file a lawsuit and the company would be liable. Blame this lawsuit happy society for why companies don’t give food away.
@@JohnSmith-gz5pm Maybe you wasn't paying attention, they said the meal bags have water bottle, snacks cookies, they even through out unopened boxes. You can easily open a meal bag & remove food items that won't spoil from room temperature.
JUST GIVE THE HOMELESS THE MONEY AND FIRE ALL THESE THEIFS!

@Doug Devine It’s the book revelation out of the Bible. All the signs are they’re. Yes people are becoming more evil and wicked. They’re are many occult’s,witches,satanist running around doing whatever they want. America is in need of help
it's crazy how counterintuitive and irrational the organizations are to our society. like it doesn't even make sense. the food is already paid for. even if u don't like the homeless, this is just dumb
Those people are heartless and disgusting! They should be arrested.

This is unacceptable. Those responsible need to be fired! Too lazy to do their job! People are out here starving and need that food. The contract with that agency needs to be terminated asap! Find another agency that will get that job done!

Please keep us updated on what happens to this place and the employees !
I work in fast food and it’s already frustrating that we as employees MUST throw away any unused food that doesn’t go to the customer to “prove a point” that you can’t get free things. I tried taking a sandwich once that’s been sitting for about an hour in the extra chute knowing it’s going to be thrown away, but when one of the managers saw me, they told me we can’t keep free things??? However, seeing perfectly good food funded by MY tax money going straight to the dumpster is disgusting. Shame on these employees 😔👎🏽
Employers!
Blame lawsuits that's why they throw away the food
I worked for a gift shop and the district manager would come in and cut up papyrus greeting cards which are very pretty and expensive since they were discontinued she would do this instead of giving them to employees what a byotch
I did the same. Tacos were getting tossed so I took them home and was so relieved my son and I didn't have to worry about dinner that night. They tried to fire me but the assistant manager understood my stance. She declined my suggestion to leave them for the poor but at least I kept my job. This was about 15 years ago but I still remember it.
Not to prove a point it’s cause if someone gets food poisoning the store is liable
Thank goodness they caught these vile people on camera, I hope every single one of them are held accountable, this is disgusting!
That's disgusting!! All of the workers were wasting time ,eating, and shopping and they got paid for doin that!! Can't even just hand out all the food but rather throw it away!!
exactly my point..
Like At Least Spend Half Of The Day Doing The Job Like Come On Man Really Seems Like It's Easy Laid Back Work..
Exactly collecting a paycheck on tax payer time and money while they get away with murder!
They did that because they want to keep their job their just following orders
They’re all people of color who do know the concept of charity.
Only White people have the charitable heart.
I am Asian and i am a recipient of White people’s charity.
FRAUD
So happy they did this story! Disgusting lazy employees. Getting paid to drive around.
Once they’re good……..that’s all that matters.
Honestly it doesn't piss me off to see them throwing the food out as much as seeing them not being questioned, fined heavily, and fired.
Dude fr
Throwing out the food is pretty angry inducing imo
Probably cause it's likely their job.
He forgot how to speak English
We won't hear about it untill it's been resolved.
This is sickening. All that money for the homeless going right into their pockets. Pure evil!!
That's because the people that work to help the homeless dont like the homeless just like hud houses theh dont help no one and this should be reported the people that work for housing for the homeless give the homes and Grant's to there friends and families instead of the homeless
There was a women I spoke to that worked for the food stamp office she said there was so much corruption that they gave the food stamps to there family and friend not to people that need them
She worked for both office food stamps and housing she said it was corruption at the highest levels so sad
YOU'RE A BOT
Man, this kind of thing makes me angry. As a former homeless person, I can tell you that it's most frustrating thing is to see food being thrown away. But when its actually earmarked for the needy and the people who are supposed to be distributing it are the ones throwing it away, it's disgusting. And they are doing it on the tax payer/donator dime. More investigations like this should be done.
If the food is expired they gotta throw it out
@@rockon8174 if that were the case they would be explaining themselves. You can see the shame through their lack of explanation in their actions.
@@madisonnicole124 they were probably told not to say anything.
@@rockon8174 well they were driving around with it presumably to give out. So I would assume that it's not expired
As some who is formerly homeless as well I hate to say it but it is nothing new. Staff will take donated items and food for themselves regularly or know about certain services, but will not disclose them. Smh it is a mess. They only want the money not the people that comes with it.
800 million in funds!? Absolutely unbelievable!!!!!!!!👎🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡
This is horrendous!! That woman didn’t have to answer any questions she’s on camera throwing away good food. This is good investigative journalism! This is just unreal!
She should have apologized. Then maybe you can forgive this. Disgusting.
the employees are not throwing away good food. They are collecting it in one big dumpsters because that's where bums get their food! Homeless people get food in trash

@@louisestevenson5102 if the Boss does not know then again, management is the problem.
@@vadalarc2948 B.S if that's the case they should have explained it. She didn't she's a food thrower
As a person who never left a grain of rice on my plate, this pisses me off so much.
Yeah same here. This is called eating all your food. I can't believe how people waste food with a little rice left in their plate.
Imagine the starving people and maybe even kids who are looking forward to that food it's infuriating and sad.
I always leave one grain of rice on my plate just for the little cricket who lives in my trash bin. He takes it inside his little milk carton cottage and carves it up for his whole family. And if I put my ear very close, I can hear them praying to me right before supper.
SAME. Coming from poverty and it’s in my religion never to waste your food
Leave 4 grains so that People dont think I was too hungry. Then make funny of me for eating all my food.
This is sickening. People are out here starving and they just wanna go home early or just are being plain lazy.
Maybe they realized giving food away every day to the same ungrateful people that don’t want to help themselves wasn’t that rewarding after all
@@arizonaadventureriders9384 tell me what they can do with no address, probably no phone, no clean clothes, no shower, and no food so they can think straight.

Man this is a sad selfish world we live in. They all deserve to be fired. I kept hoping you were going to find at least one team doing their actual job in the right way.
Right. sad they said nothing about firing them..

When was the last time you attended a city council meeting? works needs to be done in LA & the residents don't really seem to care crime infested, poverty rates, & corrupt officials stealing their money.
I’m from nyc and to see what they doing in these clips is disgusting. Ppl in LA gotta step up about this that’s crazy
It is the Government, why would you think otherwise?
Make these people accountable...lol what a joke.
I'm in Canada you cant make government employees accountable, they are there to do as little work as possible, while being paid the most ridiculous amount of money compared to private comapnies
LoL who is going to hold them accountable the same criminals telling them to throw it away or the criminal politician's that made the laws to allow this to happen. 😂 Wake up.
LA also spends 2 billion a year on salaries on people supposedly helping the homeless. They could use that money and build apartments every year to house the homeless
thank you Newsom. Holds the 5th largest economy in the world yet holds one of the worst homelessness issues in the US
More homelessness makes Greusome Gavin more chance to acquire more funds .
True
But then they wouldn't be homeless.
right. the economy which is bigger than nations .sure there's a lot of homeless for many reasons but CA can't say they don't have the resources available .this is an easy fix. create construction project and hire people who can build or fill low skill labor employe some of these people who can do it and build more solid homes. even if they are small or cost effective place. temporary homes or whatever. CA is not that hard for cash
They need to be fired immediately. The height of inefficiency. Throwing away food that is edible is soooo inefficient plus they are being paid for doing nothing.
This isn't inefficiency. This is heartlessly evil. Throwing away food that could help a starving homeless person. They could have just given it to soup kitchens, etc. They supposed to be outreaching, but drove around aimlessly. This NOT inefficiency.
@@TrungNguyen-td1to huh? Look up the definition of inefficient "not achieving maximum productivity; wasting or failing to make the best use of time or resources." What those people are doing points to that definition.
@spirals 73 No it does not denote passivity. Look up the meaning of denote. 🤦♂ and look up the meaning of passivity. Passivity doesn't even apply here. Maybe the word you are looking for is laziness or deceitfulness. Of course, the action is deliberate. Who said it wasn't? They throw away food because they want to be able to slack off and do nothing for the rest of the day instead of doing the job they are being paid. Did you not watch the video? But the point is they are wasting resources. Food and money. And that is inefficiency!
In a weird kinda way, imagine the homeless guy that found this food in a dumpster dive.
@@jakephillips4453 I'm suggesting that they're not even attempting to give the food to the homeless. To failed at something, one must attempt. In another words, to be inefficient you must achieved the bare minimum (above 0), which they're not.
This is why I choose to give food to homeless people directly, not through donations to an organization. These types of organizations are hard to trust, and this video is just one of many available examples.
Those employees should be fired. That company should lose the contract to distribute food to the homeless because they are clearly pretending to help the homeless while gladly taking the money. All of the agencies and companies need frequent audits. Corruption is everywhere. Government employees are the worst.
ayo... its the government telling them to throw it away... why would they care how bronze people live.. they got $800 million dollars in funding... how much do you think all that food costs? anywhere near 800mil? lol
i didn't mean to @ you. my bad... its just funny how so many people don't see how corrupt the government really can be...
800 million there should be multiple sectors like 800 different sectors cmon!
That’s not the only that goes in the shelter the walk in your room while your getting dressed man or woman,the people that work their have no lives so they make the homeless suffer more,the fact the a employee can not like and transfer u to shelter or a room a whim and u have no advocate to stop this or complain to ppl wonder y they choose a life on the street
If anybody's ever done any volunteer work for food banks this is pretty common you know how often you find moldy food that you would definitely do not want to give to people to consume after being donated most stuff that shows up is already passed expiration
Everyone that did that needs to be fired, arrested and charged with theft and made to reimburse every single penny that food cost. This is unacceptable. Nothing but laziness.
They deserve medals of honor
the employees are not throwing away good food. They are collecting it in one big dumpsters because that's where bums get their food! Homeless people get food in trash
@@vadalarc2948 that's not a very nice thing to say
They need to loss there contract to the city and the county. Taxpayers money should stop going to the company!
Communism never changes. Government never changes. Let's see if a Private company would be throwing away their own food and product
They said they are breaking it up
@@norml.hugh-mann you mean cover up their tracks
The next company will be just as curpurt. People don't understand that this is a multi billion dollar industry in California. They're creating homeless people by letting them do drugs and built illegal structures on the sidewalk to encourage more people to come to los Angeles because they have billions to spend and steal
Great investigative reporting. Kudos for uncovering this crime.
I was homeless a long time ago. I remember being so hungry at times, there was hardly any place to find anything to eat. This makes me mad as hell!! I hope they get locked up!!
glad your doing better!
Yes glad you are ok now
So sorry you went through that.😭😇
Forgive.
These POS should be behind bars period, there’s no excuse for what they did and for what they have been doing without being caught. LAHSA needs to be disbanded and those in charge should be investigated and placed behind bars for knowingly allowing this to continue under their watch.
Exactly! 👏👏👏
I've been homeless, and I can tell you that more than half the time the food I was given was either spoiled or out of date to eat, moldy sandwiches, rotten fruit...brown orange juice, yes it was so old it had turned brown. It got to the point where I refused the food because it was spoiled all the time. When I did bring it up to the lady she said that I was ungrateful...so I'm already homeless and now I'm ungrateful because I don't want to chance getting food poisoning while on the street...I had that happen once and it was horrible. These places don't follow food storage rules at all, I saw deliveries dropped off in the early am at a shelter and would sit outside with the rats and heat for hours. Then that same food was served that day. There needs to be harsher regulations for these places if they distribute food.
@Run_Rabbit-Run
Maybe that could be part of why they’re throwing stuff away?
In the video, the food being tossed out seemed to be perishable-and disposing of it everyday guarantees fresh food for people on the receiving end.
The integrity of the individual workers is definitely of concern, regarding how hard they try to disperse meals-some people gave less than a half-assed attempt, but some, like the people who seemed lazy but did end up going to the camp and had no remaining food. They worked smart, not hard-whereas some took advantage and didn’t even work at all it seems.
But, in terms of the organization’s intent behind throwing food away…if they were to save the food, that would require more man-power in order to safely check the food. Which would defeat the purpose or cost them money they “don’t have” because cost/benefit etc.
So, throwing away food that IS perishable, that clearly has been stored at room temperature or hotter (as the delivery teams repeatedly stopped and it did not appear they had coolers , or a sense of urgency for that matter, when delivering the meals) all day long, then RE-Refrigerating that food-it would seem that they account for human error/people who are likely to do the job-because they cannot guarantee the integrity of their employees, at least this way they can guarantee the food is fresh and cold, stored properly every day up to food safety standards.
The.system.is.broken.
*~*¡Louder for the people in the back!*~*
We wouldn’t need to be pondering proposing regulations for this if we didn’t have homelessness in the first place! Homelessness would be significantly decreased if those in power had MORE EMPATHY.
WHY U HOMELESS? LIKE STRAIGHT UP? IS CUZ OF A ADDICTION OR WAT? CAUSE THEIR SHOULDN'T BE EXCUSES ON Y U HOMELESS IF LITERALLY EVERY COMPANY IS HIRING Y DON'T U GET A JOB? OR DO U LIKE FREE MONEY?

THATS MY OPINION N IDGAF IF ANY ONE LIKES IT OR NOT.
i'm sorry. i was born 24 years ago, humanity has been a very disappointing experience
I worked at a grocery store who gave the food we couldn’t sell to a group who distributed to the homeless. We were instructed to throw away moldy and rotten food but give them the ones that were close to expiration that we couldn’t sell. The moment I saw this video I immediately knew not to jump to conclusions. I haven’t finished the video so its not affirmed yet but I have a feeling there’s a reason why this food is being tossed.
U ain’t got to explain nothing most of these comments are from ppl who ain’t even built to spend a night out on the bench b4 folding keep ur head up u strong
Used to live in L.A and sadly had to leave, seeing this report is absolutely appalling and have family there we used to go downtown LA to the rescue mission to help just so sad😪
After working at the Walmart and Fred Meyer delis, all I can say is this world is despicable with how much we waste on purpose.
My boyfriend worked at a Walmart in Arizona last year, doing delivery pick up. Somehow one day the whole building lost all power, and used up all the generators’ power. So they had to shut down the store. Which is very rare. They quickly realized they didn’t have enough power to save the refrigerated food/meat/dairy. So they tried to buy and sell as much as the refrigerated stuff as they could before the generators ran out, and then took whatever bulk of it they could fit into their cars and drove it over to the local food bank for families in need. Obviously not a Walmart decision, but it was amazing to see caring people do stuff like that.
Man, it’ll be our own demise. The stats suggest that 80-90% of the population will starve when either the power goes out or it becomes too dangerous for truckers to deliver goods. And it will, at some point soon.

Food box distributions saved my life. I lived in a homeless youth transitional center, so thankfully I had a roof over my head. The fact that I even volunteered to give food to actual homeless people that were on the streets just to be kind and these people are getting paid for it and still won’t do it… so sad and shows how heartless and evil they are! No empathy!! Food is sacred you don’t ever let anyone starve.
obvious you've never been homeless. homeless people are just like us. they don't want that school lunch/government cheese shit. it's stale and comes without any mayo or mustard.
@@ohmusicsweetmusic lol have you ever gone to salvation corp food box distributions? They have organic bread, organic chicken, fish, eggs, fruit veggies and snacks. I would get Organic veggies & Costco + Albertsons’ donations from there and other local distributions. Safe House provides a lot of good food as well. Not every food box distribution is bad… The food that these homeless people could have gotten, are not even bad.. i saw wheat, fruit, water etc when you’re hungry, you eat what you can. You don’t have to be a homeless to know that. And every pre lunch I’ve ever gotten has mayo ketchup and mustard.. depends again where you go.. I don’t eat dairy so personally that never bothered me.
@@ohmusicsweetmusic and again, I said I had a roof over my head, never did I say I lived in the street. I lived in a homeless youth shelter
These people have learned a lot from that nasty District Attorney
Not the employees doing it manager/owner would have told them to do it they don't care costs them nothing.
This is so upsetting! We're a church feeding people and run out because we don't have enough at times and to see this really is heartbreaking! They must not know what it is to be homeless or be hungry, I pray the Lord humble them and show them humility...they too can be one paycheck away from being in that position..
They make base 50k a year in LA, they’re 100% one paycheck away from homeless. Which honestly might be the reason they are doing this, working long hours doing menial labor is not good for a person so people naturally try to make it as easy as possible and to cut corners so their life isn’t any more stressful. Though I’m not sure how much this applies to this specific situation.
@@arlaux1099 I was thinking the exact same thing you said about them also being a paycheck from homeless, but throwing perfectly good food away, instead of even storing it at home at the end of the work day, to make the job easier, nah that's straight up wrong and sick. I don't think they even had to go far for Someone to take it off their hands. There has to be more to this story.
Absolutely
You'd be really heartbroken if you seen how much food banks throw away on a daily basis...literal tons...I use to work at one...the amount we threw away daily could've fed all the homeless in the city daily.
The hidden reason why they are throwing the food away is because the government is paying homeless people in LA to stay homeless. If there needs are met with donated food, then they won't need to be paid for staying homeless. It's a ploy to keep the city in disarray so that the public loses more money and more power and the leadership of California gains more money and more power. Simple as that.
Huge props to CBS LA for this great investigative work!! Now on to the rest of the government.
Every employee who threw good food away should be fired and prosecuted for theft. Every employee who spent a large part of their work day shopping, walking around and not doing their job should be fired.
@@archuk6058 more of a reason to get there job done faster and stop wasting time.
Public sector attracts people who want to get paid whether they do their job or not … their source of income is tax money and we get put in jail if we don’t pay their salary (our taxes).. their bosses get paid whether they care or not too..
why work extra hard and help people when you don’t care about either of those things? .. that’s why I am a libertarian… I know we need infrastructure in place, but the system is so bloated, billions gets wasted in the public sector with employees just like these
@@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives they get paid for 8, theyre stealing taxpayer dollars.
Which is a good thing they’re disbanding the company An starting a new one. Screw those who threw the food away. Let’s see them try to get with the new company. Those people should be ashamed. What’s so hard about taking food to people in need An giving it to them? A lot of laziness going on. They spend more time eating An shopping than they did doing what they’re paid to do.
Fuck theft dude. Try them for fraud and treason. Literally throwing taxpayer money in a dumpster.
Everyone involved should be held accountable. The employees definitely should be reprimanded or removed, and the management team and administrators of LAHSA should have to respond as to why it took a news investigation report to discover what they should have known and dealt with before it even got that far…
…
It always takes a news investigation nothing has been working for a long time.
Believe you me...the top managers know whats going on. these employees are not just doing this on their own
In reality, only the employees would be fired. The management would pretend they have nothing to do with this. And management would fire the employees for "misconduct".
Yeah. "Everyone should be held.........blah, blah" ......why try to do something instead of blogging like me. Pull a Pol Pot, get some skeletons in your closet.
@@nyankanakitty despite the employee probably being told to do it, because i can tell you right now that shit doesnt happen without someone knowing, with jobs like that they breath down your neck like you're working with nukes or something
In case anyone was not taught as a child: THROWING FOOD AWAY IS A SIN
A sin?
If god wanted people fed, he’d have the power to do so.
With great power comes great responsibility.
@@moonshoes11 while I completely agree and could also input on Gods apparent lack of "power" or "will" to feed everyone alive. You and I most likely eat well enough, so all I am saying is, we should appreciate that God "decided" to let you eat today. Hence why its a sin.

@Mi Ag ok?
Do people forget that it never ended well when they trusted big government to take care of everything?
they need to fire the employees who throw the meals away, like who had a whole day to feed homeless (doesn't seem hard task to do) and decided to that move, that's disgusting human behavior
Fire investigate llahsa
Communism never changes. Government never changes. Let's see if a Private company would be throwing away their own food and product
@Noé André exactly my point..
And They're Literally Their On Boss Can Drive Around Town To Hand Out Food To The Homeless UnSupervised And Im Sure They Get Reimbursed For Gas..
Right! Driving around giving out food to the homeless as a job would be dope! I'd feel good about myself finally doing something good for the community.
I've worked in multiple restaurants where we would be forced to throw the extra food away instead of providing it to a homeless shelter in Syracuse, NY. Another restaurant I worked at in Virginia, I was punished for giving a new cook the leftover mac and cheese we would hot hold for service. Never in my life would I EVER keep food from a hungry person, that's just disgusting.
Whole foods of usq had us tossing foods in the dumpster in 2010 the old man security guard would be asleep and anyone could open dumpster and take all the foods. They were still in excellent condition. Soups salads sandwiches pizzas and the like...
where I worked, the owners order lots of foods from their parents restaurant for the employees and a lot of kabab....etc was still on the table at the end of the day....so the owner order the employees to trash the food, but I was there so I didn't let them trash the food so I took the food home and shared with family.....etc
it's insane to trash fine food.
I used to work at a pizza joint who would throw away dozens of pizzas each night. So I started cooking them with the oven that was already on and throwing a few pizzas in 1 box to hand out to someone when I walked to my car. I got in trouble for that. Apparently those boxes cost more money than it's worth feeding hungry people. Smdh. I quit shortly after.
I went to culinary school in San Diego, they had a policy not to give away or take home any food. Guess they had been sued by someone for allegedly getting sick. Most likely it was the person that received the free meal not being responsible and leaving the food in a non safe environment for extended amount of time.
So we threw out at a minimum of 2000 pounds of fresh safely cooked food every day of the week.
Our culture is collapsing into idiocracy
A real cook never leaves someone starving .
Stuff like this made me realize we’re doomed
Well, yeah, that, too, but shouldn't we be kinder Humans regardless? ♡
LA Homeless Services Authority = Government. It's not a "nonprofit". Communism never changes. It's always an utter disaster, especially at feeding people. People will literally starve to death while the government throws away and hoards food
I think so too. Even when caught they showed no remorse
exactly my point..
There is no reason for them to do this that isn't evil or nefarious.
Giving anyone money to provide food to the homeless while not monitoring them intensively is asking for this sort of abuse? Why is it falling to news investigators to uncover this sort of corruption. Thank you KCAL!
I agree with the comments below here. It's an obscene disgrace to waste the food meant for the hungry. I hope this excellent piece of journalism produces some positive changes to this shameful situation. Thank you all like minded folks who responded with comments here. I really hope this helps to improve the situation for those people who need this food.
Grocery stores do it all the time, as do public university dining halls
@@whodoesntlikesurfing it's a bit different for grocery stores though for dual reasons. For the biggest one it's to keep people from "spoiling" product that isn't bad nor damaged. Given have and will steal items under the guide of either intentionally damaging the product, or claiming it's spoiled or out of date. With the other reason being of a recall were to occur. It makes it much easier to contain it, seeing as we just had one for Jif peanut butter. In which if let's say an entire truck's worth were to be donated to the homeless. Then that would create a horrible situation and would be a situation that could not be controlled.
I absolutely hate how much food I have to throw away in the grocery store I work at. Yet unfortunately it's a case of a few rotten apples spoiled the bunch. Along with keeping a lid on potential contamination issues.
And some TH-camrs waste food for more views, don't forget that too
These people throwing the food away could be on the other side of those food boxes some day and it’s only by Gods Grace and they should think about that.
Do you believe anything can be changed
I would rather they leave it out front or take it home rather than what they did. Not to mention I'm sure they are getting gas vouchers knowing gas is like 8 bucks out there. Just disgusting and I hope that they fall on hard times and remember what they did. Sick sad world.
If there were any such thing as justice, all of these people would be living on the streets after this.
Justice one day will happen. “Depart from me” will be the words they’ll most likely hear.
It’s disgusting how people can’t own up to these actions
Reminds me of politicians.
@Xavier Behavier I see this more and more every day and it grinds my gears
These people are criminais. Need to pay.
@@yolomayans1655 I agree fully but I hate to say they will get away with it. They real people that can do something about it will just stand and let it happen. sadly this is the world we live in….. go out into the world ever day with a mindset of (we all live in this rock together so let’s work together) the world has so much to offer and if we would all try together we all can enjoy it equally
People like that need to be put in prison.
That is theft, at least. Those SCUMBAGS need to be in HANDCUFFS.
What WORTHLESS MONSTERS.
Putting it lightly
By definition , taxation is theft … and this story is not an outlier .
Government is wasteful beyond belief .
ALL GOVERNMENTS!
Too bad most of the taxed proles are too brainwashed or too ignorant to understand this
Charge them with human rights violation.
The careless devolvement amongst human beings is something that's going to affect our entire nation. Every one of these people need fired, criminally prosecuted for their thefts and left outside on the streets for a couple of months without resources. Great job investigating. Follow up please.
Many aren't our citizens. The distributors.
the people giving out the funds need to hire the homeless people to distribute the food to their peers ...
Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking too
It’s appalling how overweight the employees are to see them throw food away from those who are literally starving. The fact that this has been going on and on without monitoring and accountability of tax payer money makes me think about all the other things beside this that people are getting away with.
Exactly!
That's how selfish they are as long as their belly's were full they could care less about the real people out here with nothing to eat and this is what they get paid for.i am so freaking mad Yet I am not surprised, what a total waste.
How do these people SLEEP AT NIGHT!!! No EMPATHY 🤬🤬🤬
This stuff goes on all the time. I would bet 80 percent of people today in charge look for how they can benefit themselves before others. We are living in the last 15 years of the earth
Nonprofits are mostly a scam. 90% of their money is consumed by administration costs, less than 1% goes to actually help their cause. Which is about the same as how much effort goes to helping the cause they say they are for. Most of their efforts go to acquiring more funding.
This is totally deplorable and uncalled for.
All should go to jail for wasting tax money .

@@HJ-jy7fw
Thank you Newsom
This is atrocious on so many levels. I mean, if you're too lazy to do a job you're literally being paid to do, then just set the boxes out with the homeless people and leave. Don't throw it in the trash. Those people need that food. Just wow. 🤬
In my experience, this many employees doing the same wrong thing usually means the supervisor is WELL aware and does it too.
Great work on this story.
or maybe it means homeless folks are just like us and don't want to eat that school lunch/government chees stale shit and they have no choice but to throw it away.
@@ohmusicsweetmusic if u homeless you would eat anything 💯
@@ashleyj7011 at some point you prob right...
Not the employees doing it manager/owner would have told them to do it they don't care costs them nothing.
@@ashleyj7011 That has not been my observation.
Thank God there is real true journalists out there who are willing to invest themselves into real stories that show problems within society! Thank you guys and your staff for reviling the truth about these agencies who are only entrusted to help others...but also getting paid to do it. JAIL THEM!!
Great job investigating and reporting. Without our journalists this type of BS would go unnoticed. Kudos!
In a day and age where people expect everything to just be given to them including journalists this was an exceptionally fine piece of investigative journalism
Good job David!!! Way to hold those public agencies and employees accountable! BRAVO!!
Such a disgrace to be throwing all that good food away, especially coming from tax payer money. LAHSA needs to be done with, not one more employee should collect a paycheck for not doing their job. Ridiculous.
This is Los Angeles. It’s a Democrat Party hellhole. What else do people expect? Every Democrat city is a disaster, just like this
How do we know that food wasn’t expired? This report never confirms that. But yeah, let’s just call it a disgrace.
So many working poor, students, even college students would be so grateful for one of those prepared lunches. Where were supervisors an program administrators?
Seen having a good breakfast in a restaurant , then just cruising around, gets me a little fired up. I understand if there are left overs that need to be thrown away, but just driving around and not really engaging with the public(and there’s plenty of homeless), then throwing away cases after cases of meals. The answer, “I’m not going to answer your question” is unbelievable.
yup, selfish disgusting behavior. Must be nice to be able to eat out all day and NOT do your job or feed the hungry. They need to be fired.
Riiiight .. they could’ve just sat the boxes where a lot of ppl can reach it and then move on at the very least
LA is full of lazy people with no regard for others.
Nonprofits can have their tax exemption stripped. Good luck trying survive after the grant and donation money is recalled. Big donors have attorneys attach memorandums of understanding in the instance criteria for said donations are unmet. It’s the same for grant money.
LA Homeless Services Authority = Government. It's not a "nonprofit". Communism never changes. It's always an utter disaster, especially at feeding people. People will literally starve to death while the government throws away and hoards food
Fire them and see how they like having nothing to eat.
I'm pretty sure its a taxpayer funded government agency. LAHSA has been problematic for years.
They are plain LAZY! but they spent countless hours driving around doing personal shopping while on the clock. They could've at least given an entire box to someone instead of tossing it in the trash.
This is really sad and it’s no accident. Doing something like this on purpose really upsets me. I remember my mom sometimes would make too much food so my dad would bring it to the city and give it to homeless people or leave it in areas he knew homeless people would sometimes sit.
I was homeless for 10 years and I couldn't even find food everyday so just the thought of all that food being wasted is a disgrace and unacceptable..I would have fired all the worthless staff who did all that and I wouldn't let it go unnoticed..Some people are complete pieces of you know what
💩! Im sorry that you was homeless,but I'm thankful that GOD brought you out!!!
@@mgnwat as apology for putting him there? or is it only His will when its positive?
Not just fired since that does not recover the taxpayer funds lost, but should also be made to pay restitution for the total days and the value of boxes of food discarded. In addition, going forward, recording of all stops and number of boxes delivered at each stop/encounter, per day, per delivery driver. Without accountability and verification nothing will change.
This sound so inconsiderate and stupid. So you would fire everyone and then get new employees and then have them follow your orders, to then fired them again? Isn’t it the policy and big boss making these rules ?
@@mgnwat Maybe god could have saved the guy some heartache and not put him there in the first place?
Great journalism, I'm glad to see that these people were caught. Hopefully fired them and hopefully a new agency can ACTUALLY get food to people who need it.
So thankful you did put them cameras there. We don’t know how long they truly been doing this. This is so hurtful to watch they don’t care about the homeless. They just want to get some free money and say they helping the homeless to make it look good. 🙏🏾😔💔
Not the employees doing it manager/owner would have told them to do it they don't care costs them nothing.
Handing out food to homeless in LA is the biggest NO BRAINER in the history of jobs! You could give away boxes and boxes and boxes of food to literally tens of THOUSANDS homeless people in the City and County.
Thank you for exposing & calling out these disgraceful bastards. Stealing our tax $$$ and wasting food (that i guarantee most of those homeless will dive in the bin for..) don't fly with me at all! A much deserving backhand (slap) to each of those LAHSA 'employees' involved
Geez, no wonder we haven't been making progress on the homeless crisis. It's the people being paid to take care of the problem simply aren't doing their jobs. Wow.
unreal!
More oversight more audits more accountability .way to much fraud going down...
Oh my heavenly father this is absolutely unacceptable. Those employees better be held accountable
Oh, the Lord sees. He said “vengeance is Mine; I will repay.” “Just as you’ve done unto the least of these, so have you done unto Me.” They better repent and confess that to the Lord and let Him give them a new heart. This is …. I have no words. Makes me just livid. Not only are the individuals corrupt, but the cover-up statement from the organization shows the depths of the corruption. It’s not to help anyone. It’s a FAKE non-profit set up to take donations from the kind hearted donors who DO care about people. Even so, come Lord Jesus. It won’t be long now. This is just a sign.
Infuriating, horrific, completely unacceptable,
Shut them down, there need to be consequences for this heartlessness
Wow, they all need to be fired and LAHSA needs to lose their contract and pay for each lunch they failed to distribute among the homeless, shame on them
fire them & then what ? you still hold the same elected officials who were not suppose to let this happen from the jump. CA holds the 5th largest economy in the world yet it looks like a total dump. How?
CA doesn't have a money issue. It has a spending issue. A lack of administration conformed by corrupt officials that've been running CA & every major inner city for nearly 100 years.
Enjoy the fruits of what you vote for 🙏
Yep
Don’t blur these people out in the pictures-when folks watching know who they-things change FAST!
when I was a high school teen working at a burger King, I use to take all of the end of night food and give it to the homeless at midnight only to be told by my manager that I can't in case the homeless get sick that they can sue. I ended up just taking all the food and telling the homeless a designated spot each night that I would leave it at. this is america, no one should be hungry.
You right.
But yet they still tried selling that same food towards the end of the night , smh the fckry I swear !
@ATF There would be no lawsuits, ffs. What utter nonsense. You can't be sued for giving away food in good faith. That "we could be sued" thing is nothing more than an excuse.
I was a delivery man for a Chinese restaurant. My boss sometimes gave me a free entree at closing time which I didn’t want. Occasionally, I also had undeliverable orders intended for customers who didn’t answer their door, usually having fallen asleep before my arrival near closing time. I disliked throwing out unopened food.
I would take such food on my way home to the local bus terminal to give to the homeless or to midnight shift clerks at convenience stores or motels.
How is a homeless person gonna sue smh the city don't care a tad about there opinions trust me ..
Unbelievable 😮.
I’m currently staying in a homeless shelter. Chris (the guy with the beard) was the one who helped me get into a “tiny home” community in Tarzana. He’s a good guy. I would still be on the street without his/lahsa assistance.
Aaaah man☹️
So sad to know he evidently got weary in well doing 😭☹️😭 I trust that by Yah's Grace and Mercy he'll recover from this, and get back to being a blessing 🙏🏿
Wonder how much outreach he'd be able to do if he had to spend all his time distributing every last meal package . . . I think there is a need for reasonableness here. Glad you were able to receive help.

This is horrible 😢 so many people need food and to see this is just heartbreaking 💔 We trust the people working in these facilities and the government needs to do something immediately.
You don't work, you don't eat!
There needs to be more oversight.
They were instructed by the Gov to not feed them. It's a form of depopulation.
Think about it..why do you think the homeless are not housed in a housing compound? Why are they allowed to build camps on public streets. Why are the cops forbidden to arrest them? The answer: It is so that drug peddlers can have access to them. The drug peddlers help the Gov to speed up depopulation.
I can understand why the Lefts are pro-choice. There are thousands of babies born defective due to effects of drugs by their mothers. These babies are being abandoned and cared for by Gov welfare for life. So why keep babies that you know will not be able to contribute to society bcos of their defects. They need special care for life. This cost tax payers a lot of money to maintain.

Exactly what the news reporter said. This will help get them off the streets and convince them to get government help, but there alot of homeless in LA and OC that they dont know where to start.
As someone that was homeless for 1 and a half years this is exactly why I hate social workers. They get so much praise, but this was my exact experience with all social workers no matter what shelter, program, or city I was in. Greedy, lazy, out of touch, overweight cowards and thieves.

Horrible, I work for my pay. The homeless that are struggling need that food just to survive. This is so sad, what a waste. 😔
You work for your pay and the government taxes it so they can pay shysters to waste it.
