- We had to go to the food bank again. The ladies said they had so much and that stuff was going to go bad. Lots of produce and bread this time. I filled some bags full of apple and onions. And they gave us lots of goodies as usual. This has to be the most I have ever received. So blessed and grateful for our local food bank.

I volunteer at a food and clothing pantry. We try to give cakes like this to families with kids. Some weeks we are very heavy on donations and others very low. Some weeks we have lots of customers and some weeks few. The food has to be distributed as it will go bad and we do not have a lot of freezer capacity either. We use the term “haul” all the time as it is a haul to get it all out and loaded in the car. Customers get the word from us and it has nothing to do with the awesome appreciation we get from customers no matter what words they use. God bless!
Wow! I’ve never seen so much food from the food pantry. What a blessing
Idea: freeze the bananas whole in freezer bags for smoothies and baking banana bread. Cut up and cook the apples and freeze for cooking and baking. Etc. There is always canning too. With the citrus, you can squeeze the juice into ice cube trays and freeze for adding to ice tea or lemonade or just free mix g it in bigger baggies for juice. The possibilities are wonderful. I am so glad you got so much good usable food! The haul is a blessing to the givers and the receivers!!
Ooooo, I had not thought about juicing the citrus. Going to have to do that. I learned the hard way that you need to peel bananas BEFORE you freeze them. Lol, what a slimy mess. Yuck.
Chicken liver pâté is AMAZING for new mamas! I have a friend that craves it after each birth.
I ate a ton of it during my last pregnancy. So good on a cracker. Thr color is off putting but oh so good.
Your food bank hauls are mind-blowing. I've never seen anything like it! You are so generous to give away food boxes.
You are very inspirational because picking up and then managing all that food must be exhausting!
Lol, it kinda is. I love being able to help. I used to have money and could just buy stuff if people needed it. Now, l am limited on funds but I have more time to help and share. Being a part of a small town church has been so fun. 😍 lots of needs, emotional and physical pop up at random. I like to be prepared!
I wish our food bank would give out meats and poultry. Wow, that's a nice pantry haul.
There are a lot of grants out for food pantry proteins. Grants look daunting but are more about networking and communication than good writing. Ours just got a grant just for protein. It's not usually like this.
Let the bananas go browner that what they are and you can do banana cake/bread. the apples, you can do an apple chunk cake
Googling apple chunk cake now. 🎂
Such a blessing, mama! 😊
Wow, what a great food bank haul.
You got a blessing
That was just a great haul!
Great haul! I'd love to see a video on how you're able to bless others.
Will do. I often take boxes to others. Waiting on a friend to get out surgery to take her some food.
That’s a TON of food! That’s a blessing to receive for whoever in need, I feel like the poor working class and disabled is feeling the pinch of the economy.. things are still high and will continue to go up, all of us are doing good to stay afloat much less having to afford groceries these days..egh
Omg Rachel this is wonderful. Happy for you. New friend ❤
Yay! Love the community here. So many encouraging ladies. Welcome!
Enjoy the blessings
Shredded coconut is good in energy bites

Very interesting
Where are you located? Great haul!
This food bank is in Aloha, a suburb of Portland Oregon. I live between Portland and the coast.
What a blessing
You are right. 🥰
Tillamook is in Oregon
Yes! When my husband was in boot camp, the guys from Oregon and Wisconsin and Michigan would all argue who made the best cheese and ice cream. It made me laugh.
Wow we hardly get anything in Toronto!
My food bank has been working really hard and grants and the volunteers that drive an hour one way, twice a week, to get bakery leftovers. It is pretty amazing and I am very grateful.
Please dont call it a haul. Sounds very unappreciative
Pick pick pick pick. Really? Let’s be kinder.
