poets in the Soviet Union would take on small jobs like being a janitor

imagine opening an app and you see the local soup kitchen and pet sanctuary as listings

the soup kitchen posted an event for lunch and you hit "volunteer"

you help pack boxes and get a meal

your labor directly benefitted someone

your social credit increases

    You could do a thing that's a combination of a Soviet Stolovaya and a modern Ghost Kitchen (which I guess is just a Ghost Kitchen with a large cafeteria) where local cooks can trade use of the kitchen space. The problem with Ghost Kitchens is that they're being used by food delivery apps to undercut restaurants and drive them further out of business, and it's ultimately self-defeating because the whole business model is unsustainable, but they could be repurposed with a modicum of public financing.
