They do this because they can write off the "donation" (e.g. garbage disposal)
All of this produce was going to go bad, they know what date it's going bad, but they overproduce or customers cancelled orders or under ordered.
UNFI, the massive breached company, is going to have this same thing play out across the board from product wasting away in their warehouse.
If you’re willing to go there, you might post on local facebook groups.
Unfortunately, you guys aren’t going to be able to use or give everything away. But, it all looks fresh. You’re going to learn quite a bit about how long certain foods take to spoil, and there’s some solace in that.
I work for a produce delivery company as a courier and yeah fresh produce is ass for storage and transit. I'm legit thinking about jury rigging a small air conditioner into the back of my truck for summer cooling.
Have you seen if there's any way for your foodbank to do canning?
You have most of the ingredients for a gluten free spaghetti dinner with Cauliflower pasta and a watermelon heavy fruit salad appetizer. Cook it up and serve it up to your local soup kitchen. That or start giving it away to local restaurants. They'll go thru a pallet of anything perishable in an afternoon. Whatever they cant plate or prepare will just get dumped into that week's soup of the day! Lol
Not pictured the 5000lbs of watermelons, the 2500lbs of onions (those will last a lot longer).
That's brutal. This time of the year has festivals pretty much every weekend for the next few months, so can these be donated to those events, so that it doesn't go to waste?
We are not allowed to simply give it out to anyone. This is not like a church pantry where all of the food is donated by the community and’s parishioners. There is government funding, as well as private businesses, which I am guessing get their money back from the government for funding this. If we could simply give it to anyone we would not be in this situation.
Yep. That's really dumb. When people talk about government inefficiency, this is what they mean.
Is there any chance you have enough (wo)manpower to prepare and preserve it? Even watermelon can be pickled, dehydrated or made into a jam.
The edit makes me think this is done on purpose to try and force a slip up so they can justify taking away your funding and it's making me hella mad.
Trade it to a restaurant in exchange for stuff they might have you actually want. Shouldn't be hard to move tomato and onion
I have a large ice chest and a heavily restricted diet due to medical issues and my food banks won't give me fresh produce unless I show proof of residency (they want you to have a refrigerator). The little daily snack pack with oreos and soda they give you otherwise isn't worth the trip.
I would set up a food collection spot just a few feet outside and ask people if they are kind enough to consider taking a case or two to donate there. This way I can redistributed the way I want with that second charity.
Thank you for your service ʘ‿ʘ
This is horribly frustrating mate. And thanks for what you do!
You're doing your part, but someone else isn't. Everyone should learn as part of their upbringing that wasting food is bad - just like littering and thousands of other things. Unfortunately we live in a world where someone has to be fined for them to realise they're doing something wrong.
