In a previous entry, I retold the story about trying to get
someone to come pick up the furniture I want to give away. But none of them have a pickup date before
mid-September, which is too late for me.
So I am stuck.
For the smaller items, I can manhandle them into my car and
bring them to Global Thrift. They donate
the sales proceeds to some very worthy causes.
Out of curiosity, I asked the coordinator if he knew of any place that
accepted food donations. He said that I
could leave it on the stoop of the church soup kitchen across the street and it
would get snapped up pretty quick. Perhaps
the church could use it, but there are so many regulations about food that there
is probably a lot they would not be allowed to.
But their customers – they are a different story. I would have never thought of this, it seems
like littering. But if it will help
people who can really use the food, I guess it is worth a shot?
Has anyone ever tried something like this?
