In philippines back in 2007 there was a small project set up to provide public street lockers just as safe storage points for the local homeless to keep their few bits of stuff safe, sadly it didnt get far.
Which brings me on to old fridges, which we have in Thailand at many motorcycle taxi stands, used as free exchange libraries. Im not sure the take up, I know I keep chucking a few english books in my local one, but I think the upcycling possiblities of old fridges are endless !!
Problem here in UK of course are short sighted local councils with their planning department and health and safety jobsworths, not to mention the Nimbys, but imagine dropping fridges in strategic locations to use as drop off points for food and covered in info stickers with advice and phone numbers for any issues the homeless have.

totally right, i worked for a council for five years in a computer department so i know what it's like first hand. you did see my post on the hunger project vending machine right? that's got legs and they got back in touch via instagram so that might go somewhere, of course i'll keep everyone up to date here.

btw, adding you to my steem auto voter.

I started writing the longest comment in the world so decided to make a blog post of it, please take a quick look. I stuck in a reference to you vending machine article :-)
Thanks for giving me my cause back!
