    When I was a kid my dad could get bread that was a day old cheap. This only happened occasionally. He would fill our freezer and a friends and then go to a poor neighborhood and give it away. His huge station wagon would be full of bread.

    It’s inportant to remember that you can’t save the whole world.

    The whole food bank is not your problem.

    You do what you can and go home.

    How many other food banks are in your city? Where does one draw the line?

    Tammy and TT, the OP DID ask that we not respond with the sentiment “you cant worry about food at the Food bank.” Just sayin’.

    Ooo, Steve’s idea about offering the veggies cut and bagged is good. That is what they are doing in the grocery stores, Theses cut up pieces go bad faster, of course. But would they be more attractive to your clientale?

    You know what I say these days to people when I commit memory lapse or hearing problem or etc? I say “I have O.L.D. so please forgive me.” They start to say “what is old? “ and then they get it and laugh.

    Ok - then for my own mental health I will have to leave this thread because I can’t stand watching how all these little details about the food bank consume her life. It makes me sad.

    Tammy, I have had to leave many of these threads because it seems that like we want to help but in the end no changes are really made.
