[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your food bank needs to get creative and better with their PR. Yikes! There is an initiative at our school district that gives away birthday cake kits. They include a can of soda that somehow makes the cake a cake (along with a metal pan, frosting, and candles.) I know applesauce can also be used as an alternative. Canned chicken or tuna can easily be added to Hamburger Helper. To call either of these donations “useless” is an insult to both you as a donator, and to recipients as too stupid to improvise. [/quote] This! I grew up poor and we used a local church food pantry often. My mother would occasionally grab a box of cake mix and she would mix it up with milk and whatever chocolate bars/chips/etc the pantry would have and microwave us little cakes in bowls. When you are poor, you improvise. We had a lot of macaroni and cheese fortified with canned peas. That was a thing in our house. [/quote]
