I worked for a five-star resort in Hawaii. Movie stars, princes, etc., were common, along with conventions of the best businesses. There was SO MUCH food thrown out. They had been donating it to the needy, but then lawd were passed that prohibited it. The waste was sinful.
My daughter helps out at the local food bank. Part of her duties include a run to various stores at closing time to get the unsold baked goods of the day.
Sometimes the food bank already has too much bread or donuts so she has 2 or 3 other places to take it. Sometimes they don’t want it either and she takes it to shelters/encampments that aren’t even on the list.
