Arrested for Dumpster Diving while Rescuing Food for People in Need

Meet Tony Moyer and Sam Troyer, brother-in-laws in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. They’ve been dumpster diving for 10 months, collecting $1,000’s of good food and donating it to people in need. But in October they were arrested for dumpster diving at a CVS and charged with loitering and prowling at night as well as criminal trespassing.
The dumpster they were arrested at did not have a “no trespassing” sign posted, the gate was wide open, and the dumpster wasn’t locked. They weren't prowling, they weren't loitering, and they weren't trespassing  and dumpster diving isn’t even illegal in Pennsylvania. Tony and Sam always leave the place cleaner than they found it when dumpster diving and neither of them have ever been in trouble with the law.
We want all charges against them dropped so they can go back to rescuing food and donating it to people in need! $165 billion worth of food is wasted each year in the USA. That’s enough to feed another entire American population yet 50 million americans are food insecure. 
Donate to The Dumpster Divers Defense Fund to fight injustice against Food Waste Warriors: https://www.gofundme.com/DDDFund
Inspired by Tony and Sam I’ve started the Dumpster Divers Defense Fund to help Food Waste Warriors if they get arrested or ticketed. The funds raised will cover Tony and Sams tickets if they aren't dropped but better yet will be used to help them start a food rescue program with grocery stores so that the food can be donated and not put in the dumpster in the first place. 
This fund will also help to bring media attention to the issue of food waste and hunger, help dumpster divers in the future who get in trouble like Sam and Tony did, and help dumpster divers to start food rescue programs to keep food out of the dumpsters.
