Greensboro, NC food donation right now
Need to put an end to this load from hell.
Rejected load from food warehouse, claims of freeze damage to part of the load.
Load is fine, fresh and being kept cold at 36?
Mixed veggies;
Truckload, 930 cases.
Come take some or all, wish to not see it go to waste!
At the Petro Truckstop near Mebane, NC I-40 Exit 157
NEEDS TO GO!!

so they refused it based on visual inspection?0 -
I have this posted in a thousand different places, so far a few people have come and grabbed some but there is A LOT left that needs to go!
Ricci, grab some friends and call it a road trip!
If anyone knows a hog farmer near by tell them or get me a number. I really don?t want to put this in a landfill!0 -

Good idea,,0 -
Wish I could help you out. (Just read this.)
Sorry for your dilemma Lonnie.
That truly Sucks.0 -
wheres your next stop? could you unload to local food bank/salvation army there? if it is mostly greens just about any animal would eat them, just hassle of unbagging all the frozen stuff...
we used to give some of our frozen stuff to local senior citizens organization, they would pass it out later... just will be tough to get anyone to answer phone this late on a saturday evening, good luck, you could pull in local wally world and put free sign on bumper, get back and watch the fights0 -
How long will you be there Lonnie?
Can/will send some relatives your way if possible.0 -
local farmers market I am sure they would love to have it . free income when the sell it 0 -
Just returned from a small church in Greensboro, they took about 30 cases, nowhwere near a truckload.
I?ve called a ton of foodbanks and shelters, mostly uninterested in these types of donations and the rest there is no answer. Salvation Army, can?t get though to anyone, even trued thier emergency number and only get a machine.
Next stop is going to be a landfill0 -
