RE: Pennsif’s Progress #594 – My first day at the Food Bank

in #steempress6 years ago (edited)

When I volunteered with one that was connected with a health org, they often got donations of day old pastries from Starbucks and they literally had freezers full. So after getting their more healthy food, people could take as many pastries as they wanted because there were always mountains. At a food bank I was a client of a couple of times, they got day old pastries from a grocery, and again, mountains of slightly stale pastries, only less healthful food overall because they didn't aim for the health needs like the health org one did. It was pretty much the diabetes food pantry there.
