Honkie here, let me tell my story. I posted it before on /ck/ when it happened.

This was my mom (and, because of her, me). Richer than 99.99% of /biz/ will ever be. "Free food!!!!"

Damn straight, god bless it. Our poor people are the fattest in the world (except maybe Mexico).

>>24310477
Yup!

Ok, so to finally fill you guys in: back in April, the city my mom lives in called and left a voicemail saying "free food at food bank on Friday from 10-2!" I mentioned the message to her, but I was so tired that I never got around to going to get it. She was FUCKING PISSED at missing her "free food".

The next month, they called again, and this time she made DAMN SURE that I went to get it.

So what was in the box? Oh wait, it wasn't "a box", it was six boxes plus a shitload more of unboxed stuff.

One box contained thirty pounds (30#) of precooked meat -- seasoned pork, seasoned chicken, and plain chicken -- in multiple freezer bags. These were restaurant packs that would normally have gone to someplace like a Mexican restaurant.

Another box contained a whole frozen uncooked chicken and a whole cooked spiral-sliced honey ham, as well as other stuff-to-keep-cold like a gallon of milk and half a gallon of orange juice.

Another box was full of various fruits -- apples, oranges, grapes, I forget what all else.

Another box was full of vegetables. Potatoes, onions, bell peppers, cabbage, fucking kale, lettuce, cauliflower, more.

Another box had some convenient canned goods.

Another box had basics like rice, sugar, salt, flour.

The last box had munchies, including two bags of Lay's BBQ Potato Chips, a box of Girl Scout Samoas cookies, some weird corn chip things, and other similar snack foods.

And then there was non-boxed stuff including an entire case of bottled water. Oh, and a $25 gift card "from the Mayor".
