I occasionally work for a local food bank called Community Action Network. It's a great service to a community that has people in need. They distribute food for free to folks that need it. I like to help out and I get some free food. I'm amazed how much overproduction of food there is floating around. The are a lot of canned goods, but loads of fresh foods too. Much of it is approaching expiration. If you go look you can find surprises there.
