Ohio woman shows Food Bank donations, including half-eaten peanut butter and a can of fried apples expired in 2021.

i hate when people treat food banks like their personal garbage cans

This has always been my experience going to the food bank. Lots of expired food that was thrown out by big retailers.

I helped run a soup kitchen/drop in. 

This shit is so common, and the people the give the least always thought they were fuckin McKenzie Scott or something. 

The one I'll never forget is the old lady that brought a huge ziplock full of USED TEA BAGS, because "you can use them twice and I only use them once so I can donate them!"

She asked about a tax receipt for her charitable donation. 

I loved how she explained the poofy cans and the bacteria tooting in it. 😂

Who donates stuff like this? Jfc

A couple of those people probably meant well and were just uneducated (like the oatmeal) and making a video like this is helpful but holy shit the peanut butter person deserves their own special place in hell. It's not even like it was opened but otherwise untouched they fully ate more than 2/3rds of that shit.

The best thing to donate to food banks is cash.

I know food banks have their own individual rules on what they could accept, but most low acidic canned foods that are stored properly (no rust, swelling, dents, etc.) don't actually really expire. They may not taste as good, but they'll be good pretty much indefinitely. Many foods banks happily accept "expired" food.

Yes I know only one item in this video meets that criteria, but this is just an awareness post.

Great video . Never knew any of that , it’s a great way to educate us people who would love to donate !! ❤️

Me learning and nodding along as she explains reasonable mistakes I could make when donating.
