From the outside looking in, Occupy Wall Street's headquarters at Zuccotti Park may look like a clutter of tents and sleeping bags. But just a few blocks away, the so-called Trojan Horse of this well-organized movement is in plain sight.
That's where the Occupy Wall Street supply room is located, a stockpile of food, clothing, and medical supplies housed in a former bank on the corner of Broadway and Exchange.
"We get anywhere from 100 to 400 boxes a day," protester Saum Eskandandi told NBC New York as he led a tour of the supply room. "People have been sending us so much support, it's overwhelming."
The goods are donated from all over the world and sent to a P.O. box the group set up at a local UPS store. Even the warehouse space itself was free of charge, donated by the building.
In assembly-line fashion, protesters organize everything from clothes to canned food as they come in. So far, $230,000 has also been donated and currently fill the organization's bank account.
"Only a small portion of that money has been used, and only if everyone at the park agrees," said Eskandandi. "Really, the physical donations of goods mean more than a growing bank account."
Once shipments are organized, the contents are loaded into bins and wheeled to the park....

I wonder if any of these spoiled punks are taking any of their stores of goods and going into poor areas and sharing.
Bunch of greedy pigs. They'll have to protest against themselves.
Nashville gave them a few hours last week. They went home. Idiots
Yeah. It's probably from your parents. They're so happy they finally got you out of the house they want to make sure you don't come back.
Dope for bananas.
“sharing” was in a post I submitted to Reuters - something like, where are the communist uniforms made of cotton and why don’t they give their nice coats and tents to the poor, but it wasn’t approved. :)
Lord of the flies. l
This is a completely fake “movement.” Like a bowel movement brought on by laxative abuse. These people are ultimately greedy to the core. They want the gubmint to take away the bounty of the producers and simply give it to net consumers.
I still can't understand how the neighbors have not filed suit and requested a restraining order against the park owner which I would assume is not licensed to operate a campground.
most of those punks probably live off mom and dad and smoke alot of funny stuff.
Or a Zoo.
I think I heard the warehouse belongs to a teachers union.
I give this OWS rabble about six more weeks. Then winter will set in, and they’ll think about an Occupy Miami protest.
I think the warehouse belongs to a teachers’ union. Power to the people!
Here’s what I’m protesting....It’s not fair that Occupy Wall Street gets to have a fully stocked warehouse, while all the other Occupy people have to fend for themselves!!! I think Occupy Wall Street is obligated to show solidarity to the other Occupy folks and share their wealth!!! Money and supplies!!
Teachers Union or DNC little difference.
