[news] Food Bank Etiquette

[Resist!ca]

There are many religious parables that say to "share" things you do not want, is not really sharing. For instance, a mom asks a kid to give some of their toys to a toy drive for the poor, and the kid brings a teddy bear missing an arm, and a truck with no wheels, etc. Then the mom sends the kid back to get a nice toy to give to the poor. Well, this same concept applies to food banks. Do not give food banks food that is so old you will not eat it. I talked to someone who saw a 1979 expiration date on a food package at a food bank recently!
