My husband used to give a lot to charity before we were married. We had a
food drive at work and he donated 2 whole shopping carts full of food. The
woman running the thing was stunned!

I wasn't able to give as much this year as I normally do. We gave some food
at Thanksgiving, mainly coupon items that we can not eat. Then $25 to
Albertsons to go to the food bank. Angela found $21 over the course of two
days. Some in a parking lot and some on the floor of another grocery store.
It upset her badly that she couldn't find the owner so I said we would
donate it. I added the rest.

We gave twice to Toys For Tots but the only food I've been able to donate
besides a lot of cat food was a box of crackers that I got for free with a
coupon.

I told Angela, "We are the poor this year!"
