| - My husband worked the furniture convention at city center this last week. After it was over there were tons of food leftover. We got multiple packs of huge costco sized items. These items included milk, bread, sliced cheese and deli meat, bagels, english muffins, hot dogs, hot dogs buns, cookies, oreos, chocolate, orange juice, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, celery, etc. Easily over $1,200 bucks worth of food.
We saved some for us, gave some to friends and still have a lot leftover. After doing some research online (YELP!) I saw that this place was one of the best options. Only 12 miles away and open on super bowl sunday.. perfect.
Driving in they said the food donation center was closed but we could drop it at the kitchen. Driving to the kitchen we noticed the play ground with lots of kids playing and the moms socializing. it broke my heart to see all of these kids in need.
The place was super clean and everyone was extremely friendly. It had this family feel to it, that was warm and welcoming. They gladly accepted everything and offered a tax write off.
In august when my husband works again, we will skip giving it to friends and come straight here. I want to start bringing my daughter and get her involved in the volunteering process.
