Is this a fundraiser, or are you just taking advantage of a charity-based organization?

[TheSanityAnnex]

Does the food taste like shit?

[Spurfect]

eh, we used to give that information to the hurricane Katrina and Rita victims when I was working for FEMA. We (the workers) were not allowed to use it for ourselves...
this should be left only for the less fortunate, IMO

[PakiDan]

Who packaged that stuff together??? MAkes for one crazzzzyyy dinner.

I'm sure the nutrtional value in all those is not what it should be. If that's what a family is living off of. And I don't get why you posted it.

[King]

It's not taking advantage of a charity by any stretch. It's offered to anybody, and there's not a shortage of food, and me buying it isn't keeping it from a needier person. Was it created to help those less fortunate? Perhaps, I don't know. But, it's a nationwide program. It's not a soup kitchen.

They're able to buy it in bulk, and that's why the prices are cheaper. I posted it because it's good food for a cheap price, and it's not a shady business. Doing it isn't illegal, immoral, or unethical. Our church of 10,000 plus has been the host site of it for a while, and a ton of the congregation uses it, as well. There are less fortunate people that take advantage of it, and upper-class people that take advantage of it. And there's never been an issue of having enough food.

I stand to gain nothing off of it, so don't use it if you don't want to. I just put it out there in case people wanted to get a good bit of food for a good price. The food tastes good, and the nutritional value is exactly what any of that food elsewhere would be. It's not all generic food.
