Where I work, we have food pantries come in 4 times a week. I do everything I can to send them anything that might be usable and no longer salable product. It's simply a win-win in my book. They get stuff, less goes in our dumpster (and then land fill) and frankly it's easier for me as I don't have to carry it out to the dumpster.
