Great idea!

Excellent idea!

All for helping blue dots. But R districts need to learn and they are incapable of learning from news, words, scientists, experts, or anyone with an IQ above frozen yogurt. They’ll only learn the value of food prices and availability by starving themselves. And it’s what they wanted when they voted.

Or female period products. Shelters and food banks desperately need them.

foglightmj.bsky.social•12 days ago

Love the concept. Cans can also be projectiles? Special care would be needed, for sure.

kateleighferg.bsky.social•12 days ago

Items could be collected outside the venue, and/or organizers could request boxed/bagged non-perishables instead of cans or jars.

foglightmj.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sounds workable. Outside the venue sounds good--like in the parking or bussing areas maybe. Then people wouldn't have to carry heavy items with them.

That's an excellent idea.

That's a wonderful idea!

Great idea.

great idea

Thinking projectiles not a good thing inside but brilliant idea to have boxes outside for collection. Might. E helpful to have reps there from local pantries so things don't hang around .

dolesbianstip.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, it briefs well, but it only makes things more complicated.

If you want a crowd to show up, don’t add to their burdens.

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•12 days ago

And require more of organizers who are usually volunteers.

kerrit.bsky.social•12 days ago

esp since people notoriously donate dented or expired cans, both of which have to be thrown away. and sorting through for that takes a lot of volunteer hours.

deirdre63.bsky.social•11 days ago

Great idea--or, cash. Food banks can often get better deals than the public. Plus, they know what they need.

chowbell.bsky.social•12 days ago

Great idea.

sactowngrandma.bsky.social•11 days ago

Feminine hygiene products and diapers, too. Toilet paper. If cans of food, make it something that requires nothing else to make it edible, because the recipient may not have the something else. Canned soups (not broth), canned chili, pasta things, etc..

dylansdogpark.bsky.social•12 days ago

Excellent

tartigrade65.bsky.social•11 days ago

Great idea! If your GOP representative happens to show up, you have something to throw😆

Beautiful idea!

ssiderod.bsky.social•12 days ago

Love this idea

shanemcoyle.bsky.social•12 days ago

Who in the name of God would bring a half-eaten eight-ounce jar of Hellmann's mayonnaise to a public meeting?

ironstache.bsky.social•12 days ago

Perhaps someone who doesn’t understand what “non perishable” means?

shanemcoyle.bsky.social•11 days ago

Perhaps it’s a quote from bonfire of the vanities

ironstache.bsky.social•11 days ago

Haven’t seen that.

shanemcoyle.bsky.social•11 days ago

The movie was not great, the book was very good

ghlori.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm all for helping the needy. I contribute & donate. But again, it seems the Blue supporters are always bailing out the Reds - even when the R's vote against their own interest that will literally gut them. It's a shame the Tangerine Tubby is dismantling the Dept of Education.🙄🙄🙄

magiclady58.bsky.social•11 days ago

Food Pantries that are open all year long, are always in need of all those items, I know my senior community who lives on SS alone relies on our local United Way food pantry, they allowed families to go in and shop once a month and fill a shopping cart.
anyone living near one of your can donate

magiclady58.bsky.social•11 days ago

help them, help those who can't help themselves,
either by $ or food donations .

rossman81.bsky.social•12 days ago

Super great idea especially now that federal funding is being pulled from small farmers, food banks, and schools. Perhaps also donation for fresh produce.
