The problem with buying food from the Club and giving it to the food
bank is I doubt they'd accept already cooked food in styrofoam to-go
containers. Nor in freezer containers. They wouldn't take it because
for all they knew the food could have been sitting in the trunk of my
car for *days*. Thank you for the suggestion, but that wouldn't work.
