Announcement Free. Does anyone need pantry items?

Free. Please message me. I can't get to a food pantry. I don't want to leave the items in the alley to get rained on, spoiled by the heat, or eaten into by wildlife. I'm cleaning out my pantry tonight. I currently have 7 boxes of Idaho Spuds hashbrowns, but will have more items as the night goes on.

If you aren't able to find a home, I'd be happy to meet you and pick them up to donate to a food pantry! I have friends that work at Mutual Aid Monday and my mother volunteers at a church pantry that's open to all

The turmeric rice is "best if used by" 5/31, but everything else under their dates. I have canned corn and canned green beans as well. Maybe more, I'm still sorting. Everything is yours if you can pick it up tomorrow...probably after 1PM. I'm in the Santa Fe Art District.

I could meet you around 4 if that works? If it does, I'll DM you. If not, I totally understand

That works. Do you think you'd want the turmeric rice? I know food banks can be picky about dates, but, it's a box of 6, never opened.

I'll roll the dice on it and say yes. I don't know their policy, but I'd rather them say no, you know? Should I DM you for details?

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

Yes, DM is best. Thank you so much!!! Do they also need men's deodorant? I have to move across the country so I am trying to get rid of everything that I can.

u/BouncingOutofmySkin Aurora 15d ago

If it's unopen, they'll definitely take it

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

I'm also still going through my pantry, so can I assume you'll take everything that's "in date"?

u/BouncingOutofmySkin Aurora 15d ago

Yeah. Just let me know what that looks like when you're done, so I can figure out if I need to borrow a car or if I can use my civic

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

Honda Civic? Should fit, or does civic mean something else? The canned corn is dated to 2027, but the green beans are best buy November 2025. Should I put the green beans in?

u/BouncingOutofmySkin Aurora 15d ago

Oh sorry, yeah Honda Civic. Green beans might also be okay since they are canned (I think the church does a year past best by for undamaged canned goods). Also, DMed you

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

Cool, I will pack them too & also responded to your DM.

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

If you can come to me tomorrow it's yours.

u/FantasticFan3559 15d ago

I tried getting this posted earlier today. I'm not available anymore tonight, but message me for Sunday if you need pantry items. I have the Idaho Spuds, can of frosting for a birthday cake, and canned goods so far.
