[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please people, if you have unopened treats and food from in laws, donate it rather than throwing it away!

There are lots of poor hungry people in this area whose kids would love to have a treat once in a while. If you have excess dog treats shelters would love them. Take ten minutes and try to find the nearest place to donate. That way, at least all this crap won't be wasted and going into a landfill.[/quote]

I'm PP with the mom who gives more than OP's MIL. I do not donate, I toss, and I think that's the right thing to do.

First of all, this stuff is not healthy. Frankly I do not think it should be donated. It belongs in the trash. But second of all, you are wrong that charities want this stuff. They don't. Years ago (and it's probably even more rigid now), I looked into it, but most local nursing homes, food pantries, etc. don't want it. In fact our local food back explicitly states that they won't accept candy.

I think it's a sweet sentiment to donate it, but not practical or actually a good idea.
