[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really nice instinct. But I used to volunteer at a food bank sorting donations, and immediately after all the "candy" holidays (Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas to a lesser extent), we got a HUGE glut of candy. People want it out of their house for dietary reasons, and donate it up the wazoo. There's WAY more than people want. So this isn't actually really valuable. [/quote] Same with treats for troops and Girl Scout cookies donations. They were always stale by the time they got distributed. [/quote] A service member told me they accept it because it makes people feel good to donate but much of it gets thrown away.[/quote]
