A viral post on social media from a beloved bookstore in Oak Cliff sparked concern from its supporters. Now they want answers from the city of Dallas.
The table distribution, said Tyehimba, started roughly seven years ago. The People's Fridge started as a vital lifeline to many during COVID. During that time, Tyehimba said she never received pushback from the city.
Shyan Woods, who frequents the store, said the bookstore kept free food on her table for years, especially at the height of the pandemic. Tyehimba said she wanted to know why she was asked to remove the table and refrigerator from the front of her store. She tells NBC 5 the city worker that told her she was enabling the homeless, but she’s received no additional explanation from the city of Dallas since then. Still, she took down the table and removed the fridge.
On its website, Code Compliance does lay out guidelines for feeding the homeless, but Teyhimba said most people she serves are not homeless; rather, the"working poor." She hopes this matter will be resolved soon.
