Hear me out... I was walking out of Pick n' Save and there is a pack of OREOs in the Hunger Task Force food bin, this just got me thinking about what a crapy set up that food bin is Why should people pay retail prices for food to donate in a bin? Why should the store profit on this exchange? Why would people donate oreos? On top of the store making money on it, which pisses me off, money is being spent on someone picking up the bin, transport of the bin, sorting of the bin, storage of the items, etc. If people really wanted to help they should give cash to the place directly. That would cut out an insane amount of hassle and wasted funds, and money can buy GOOD food at wholesale prices. I have heard from people in the organizations about the endless amounts of canned green whatever that can last them for 4 years. So, in summary, give money to charitys, so it can be used the most effectively. Unless they are crooked or someone is embezzaling.
