When I think of food donations - my mind always goes right to the holidays, will families have…read moreenough food to enjoy and make merry the seasons. And it goes without saying, that applies to toy donations as well - all little boys and little girls should have toys. Behind the county Meals on Wheels was another charitable donation center - Manatee Food Bank and as I pulled up, a friendly fellow greeted me immediately, directed me where to park and magically appeared with a hand drawn forklift within two shakes of a cat's tail. (I bought some live cattail plants last week, they're on my mind apparently) I can't say that I can offer you some food bank and pantry tips, I'd love to say to cut a check in the firm of financial donations over canned goods - but I just can not do that. There's just too much corruption today - I'm not pointing the dirty end of the stick at anyone's outreach - but UNISEF got busted I believe and they're one of the biggest. Canned goods, toys and volunteering - always pay it forward - it feels good to give.
