Love that, more stores need to do it!

Hopefully that’s true, Aldi says they donate...which is a total lie!

Yes I agree more stores should do that. People that is hungry gets feed and the food gets eaten instead being thrown out.

Example me we never have any food

Birdie Warzone God bless you😍

It could be rotton

It could of been recalled or out of date. I used to work for a grocery store and we gave our food away to churches that didn’t sell from the deli until someone sued us for getting sick. So we threw it away from them on.

I agree

But legally can they since it's past a certain date?

Am from Ft.Worth TX and we have at srore that will take that food and sell it ( town talk ) but sad we see more food in trash But homeless shelter will take it if it's not bad they still could use it maybe have to cook it that day but still

Schools get their own food through places like a nutrition center and sysco.

Agree. And don't give it to Savers. They are a for profit corporation, not a non-profit.

@@theverandafilesheidrun I cleaned my closet last summer and was getting rid of my old "fat" clothes. We have a homeless center here in town that offer breakfast, lunch, showers and washing machines. I took my old clothes there and let the people go through them and chose what they wanted. Made them so happy but made me even happier!

@@yayakelley7771 that's what I do. I stayed in a homeless shelter years ago but, they do the same to this day, they take what is donated, workers get to go through it first then what is left, they take to the store, that's part of that shelter and then the shelter residences get to go buy it. So I just find people that look like the stuff would fit and look in need and I give it away that way. That way I know it's going to someone in need.

yaya kelley that is what happens in the town I live in... all that food would have gone to the food bank, and if it can’t go to humans then it goes to farms to help feed pigs and chickens and cows

And you go talk to them as a legitimate organization to receive this as donation, and they say no, or give you the round around about store policies and headquarters regulations

Alot of people could benefit from all theses good things that are being thrown away. What a shame.

T Vankirk start dumpster diving.

I worked in retail. We had to put things in the dumpster before we could go back and get them and take them to needy families. Clothing retail was the worst. When They found out we were doing it they ordered us to take razor blades to the clothing. This was a Children's clothing store! We were careful and removed tags and so they could not be returned. They fired us so we went to the local big city news and in 7 months that store closed its doors. No one would shop there again. Food stores here are more assistance friendly as no one can return food, it is just put back in a dumpster.... Our stores donate to food banks!

@@phenriquez80 I have.

yaya kelley you're so right!! My niece and I were just talking about that today!! I saw a whole bunch of stuff from Target come in and the Salvation Army was selling it for the same price as Target. Selling used cloths even for new prices smh I don't go there any more. If I have stuff to donate, ESPECIALLY clothes, I'll ask around If anyone needs them. I worked for this very well to do couple and she gave me a bag of like brand new maternity clothes and baby clothes, name brand expensive stuff and I rehomed it all, you would be surprised at how many people are truly appreciative to get really nice stuff like that, I know I am. Most everything I own is second and sometimes 3rd or 4th hand, I don't care.

Yes it is

@Judy G. I heard China was refusing plastics for recycling. Most of our plastics are sent there. I heard the cardboard is purchased here in US and Canada. But I kept wanting Steph to move it over herself. lol

É mesmo é tanta criança na rua morrendo de fome mulher grávida em Monte de criança meu Deus e essas pessoas só ficar esperando comida😭😭😭👏👏

That's what I said !

I worked for a school foodservice. You're right. We would order food on a tight budget and the manager could get it pretty close to zero waste on our end, but once you give the tray to a kid and they pick at one little piece then throw the whole thing away, there's nothing that can be done. Aside from bought supplies, we'd get free government commodities like frozen fried chicken. It was actually pretty damn good. Most kids don't like regular fried chicken these days. If it's not made from chicken gristle paste and formed into a nugget and sold by a clown, they don't want it. Into the trash it goes!

Here in California I know kids that hide some of their leftover food in their backpacks because that food would be thrown away. I came from a family that didn't believe in wasting food. I know of people that waste food and then complain when they don't have any at the end of the month. People just don't learn from their mistakes but yet complain about things when they go wrong, SMH !!!

Smart kids! They could bring a clean tupperware container for that purpose too. Good idea.

Where we live in canada My Son's School Has A Table & Kids That Don't Want Something That Their Parents Have Put In Their Lunch Instead Of them Throwing It Away Can Go Put It On The Table & Pick Something Another Student Has Put on The Table & They Make Food As The Kids Order It ... Nothing Ahead Of Time In Big Batches ..That Way Nothing Is Wasted ....They Have Healthy Choices Like Grilled Chicken Wraps & They Have Pre made Grilled Chicken Breasts ...... They Don't Have To Heat Them Up ..They Add Shredded Cheese ... Lettuce .... Choice Of Dressing ..... Serve Them With Veggie Sticks & Fruit Salad That They Make Freash... Then They Have Grilled Cheese sandwiches Also With veggie Sticks & Fruit Cups ... Or Grilled Chicken Pita Pockets with veggie sticks & fruit salad Or Hot Dogs & Once A Month They Do A Hot Lunch With A Local Resturant Like Pizza ( Your Child Gets A Personal Sized Pizza Of Their Choice Or Subs ...You Fill Out A Form & Pre Pay ..Then That Day It's Delivered .... They also Have A Brown Bag Lunch Program For Kids who Come From Low Income Families ... Lunches are provided for them ...Theres A Breakfast program like That Too & Mid Morning & Mid Afternoon Snack Provided To All The Children ....( The Lunches That Do Not Get Ised That Day Are Taken To A Local shelter For The Homeless & On Friday after lunch ... What ever food is left in the Cafeteria kitchen is packed up & taken to the local shelter for the homeless

Some do, or at least the city I am in gives it out at different food drives etc.

That's exactly what I was thinking that can be used as compost and make a community garden!!!

Or feed it to farm animals

What great people will go for the gods they will reward. And those who throw away the food and clothes, God will keep it in mind, I always donate all the clothes, I do not throw them, there are many children going cold and hungry here is what rosa wrote, just in english

Ummm sie

Laura Lawrence milk curdles dude

@@kristinerickson5970 only after 2 to 3 weeks after expiration date. That is why it is pasturized to kill off bacteria and they add stabilizers. Raw milk is different.

@@lauralawrence7049 yep, using half and half right now thAt had a date of the 23rd. That's 8 days ago. It's fine.. If it weren't the heat of the coffee would make it clot up. Not to mention it would smell and taste off.

Mixed media

Laura Lawrence it's advisory . I have eaten yoghurt 10 days past the date and it was ok. 👌

Ed Betsworth in the town I live in the stores take the food that will expire in a day or two to 3 different food banks in town so that it all gets used... and if some of the veg has gone past human use they have a farmer who comes and gets it what he can’t use for his animals he puts in his pit to make more soil

There are more outdated items in food shelves than you think. I utilize food pantries as needed and have read lots of sale by dates. Produce usually gets tossed because the bagged salads dont last after the date. As for potatoe chips, they last way sfter their sale by dates. I am picky what I use when it comes to sale by date aka, expire dates.

Actually they can donate but most stores won't because of fear of being sued or someone claimed they got sick when they really didn't.

You are 100% Correct. It did happen. One restaurant I knew used to make extra food laste in the evening, so there would be some left to donate. all that stopped when that bum sued!

😎❤️

I’m the same. I worked for a coffee shop years ago, where wraps, muffins, cakes & slices, sandwiches, etc were our main sellers, and we wasted so much, as per management policy. But I used to bag it up and leave it for the night time cleaning staff to take home. My only instruction was that it had be gone before morning or I would get my butt kicked big time!

Zilda

Glad u did! I hate waste! Eventually stores r going to get huge fines for not donating. Simply because our landfills and ozone can’t take it.

@@LGAussie I used to work in a grocery store too. Trust me, the food they do donate should be thrown out. What my store donated was outdated, bad, rotten. Food you would get sick eating. The problem lies in what they’re charging for the food and ordering too much.

Congrates

Ya I know And I would I do all sorts of charity work

It’s a liability. People getting food poisoning and suing is too much of a risk.

Alexa Tomasovic We Agree

Walmart throws out alot of food

Concordo plenamente . Tem pessoas que ficam semanas sem comer e essas lojas jogam tudo fora

Lamentável

verdade

Eu tbm concordo o egoísmo deles te tanta pessoas no mundo passando fome e muito triste mesmo.

@@marimelo2532 Eu no país desse faria de tudo pra que todas essas empresas fizessem um acordo em doar pra países pobres como tem muitos por aí .

Irma Alarcon creo que no tiene nada de mal hacer lo que hacen lo único es qué hay que estar bien informados por los brotes de las legumbres y los alimentos ya que salen contaminados de salmonela y cosas así a mirar siempre las noticias por las marcas y alimentos que están en contaminación de cualquiera bacteria 😥

Muthers Mustache Priorities right? 😡

No the state will raise taxes so you can buy brand new cloths for people crossing boarder our kids are starving..Sorry just had to say it.

Hello mr. Mustache I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you very much for your comment

What's with the straw like what's the rule against it I'm in NYC and am just wondering

@@rp101aquatics6 because "it destroys the environment". Claims they end up in lakes and rivers and harms the fish. Im in California and you can only have one if YOU the customer request it. The restaurant will be fined.

مة

I know so sad 😭

The total supply of food waste far exceeds the demand from charities.

But they can't because of the rules the government makes stops it from happening.

Our walmart and hyvee donates food to feeding south Dakota they dont throw food unless its literally bad.

Yeah makes me angry. I hate it when people don't value food and throw away good stuff.

😂

and it could probably even be good after the date

Eu sou brasileira é muito incrível essas coisas que ela acha ela acha celular um bocado de coisa de brinquedo Ôxe é sapato meu Deus é grafite um bocado de coisa Deus abençoe essas coisas que ela acha

I'm going to have to do that sometime.

Tammy from Virginia

Even some shelters are afraid to accept items in fear of being sued

Good Samaritan law protects people who are trying to do good so there are no excuses

Amen !! Ppl do not understand the laws are put in place on the stores . Lawsuits and ppl love to sue !!!!!$$$$$

Many places do though. 7 Eleven, bagel places, etc. many of them say that they do. It was on Undercover Boss too

Buy the time food would be donated it would be going bad. Who knows how long meat was in the dumpster and usually when stuff like that (especially meat) has gone bad then they can’t sell it. Chips arnt as bad. Walmart’s coolers dropped in temp a couple weeks ago and they lost $17,000 and when that happens there’s no saving stuff. All the back wall coolers except for meat had to be dumped. Milk, eggs, cheese, packaged deli meat like lunchables and sandwich meat, produce, juices lemonade.

Good Tip Thank you Natalie

Do it! But beware it’s addicting 😂

🙏❤️
