It must vary. I work a kitchen here that is run by a couple of culinary school grads that produces very good meals at an amazingly cheap price. I see them get donations though, that they just can't use for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's stuff that's too old or they can't verify the provenance. They're very gracious even if they know they can't use something.

I don't know what they'd do with donuts as it doesn't fit their menu at all. Maybe they could figure out a way to grind some into their pizza dough. They do a very healthy and filling pizza from scratch.

We made boxes to carry out. Anything that wasn’t used was given to those who came in or shared with different churches for the elderly homebound.

Too old or not being able to verify the food is different from throwing away donuts because they are not “healthy”. This is spin. Or maybe the people really aren’t that hungry. When you’re choosing between picking out of a dumpster or a donut, the donut from the soup kitchen doesn’t have extra protein, if you get my drift.

Trust me. I’ve picked out of dumpsters in my life.
