One Philadelphia homeless shelter used to have a major pea problem. Bethesda Project's My Brother’s House had an abundance of smooth Alaska peas for its clients, but demand did not match supply, Drexel Now reported. "One of the problems we struggle with is how to be creative with food that was clearly designed for quantity and not quality," Larry Russock, program coordinator at My Brother’s House, told Drexel Now, explaining that not too many diners had an appetite for the "heat and serve" canned vegetable.
