Have you recently taken stockpile items to a local food pantry?? Have you donated pet food to the local pet shelter?

Share those pics and lists of what you have donated in this forum....

I've never shared photos. Would someone please give me a quick 1-2-3 on how to do that here? TIA.

Donations are always going on, like giving my son the 12 cans of shaving cream for his friends. They're not visiting food banks...yet.

However, there are way too many things I don't know yet and can't find where to ask. I haven't even figured how to trade/buy what others do want for what I do. HELP!

I didn't take pictures but I recently donated the following to the animal shelter:

120 cans of dog food
60 pounds of dry dog food
20 pounds of dry cat food
40 bags of cat treats
14 boxes of dog biscuits
20 bottles of dish soap
Lots of dog toys, collars, and leashes

Needless to say they were very happy and I try to make large donations to them every month.

I work at PetSmart so I give the rescue groups that come in the pet food coupons that I clip from my newspaper. They always are so happy it makes me happy!

I also let my mil, who doesn't have much money, come get food from our stockpile when she needs to. So it's a little at a time, not all at once. I did just bring her three DiGiorno pizzas, though. She was soooo happy!

I've been posting in the wrong forum. Then I tried to fix it and oh what a mess. Took me a while to get my act together .

Here is a link to my last huge haul of donation items.



Elfing the needy or Santa isn't done yet. you pick. (pics)

I also did a mini haul for my BIL two days ago. No pics though. He has been struggling so bad. He hardly excepts help. I pretty much have to elf his door step (he is part of my commune of five, we all live right next to each other). This time though, he gladly 'shopped at Darkfire's general store'.
1 pk razors
1 box granola bars
1 box candy

Is there a way I can do this? I get every possible pet food q. I shelter up to 8 cats. Plus BIL has two ferrets and my other two commune members have 2 cats. I get more q's than I can use. I would love to donate them. I am an unregistered TNR partner so I get donations sometimes, off the books, but I'd like to give back as well. I keep papers on about 18 TNR cats. Ug Soon to be 19 cats. Mouse seems to have been kicked out and is coming in for food. He needs altering (done and done yay). He isn't spraying yet thankfully!!!! I just can't do it yet. Pray my $5,000.00 (I'm still praying for that amount) settlement for my accident comes this week so I can get him in cuz the last batch of kittens are due for 2nd yr shots next month. oy.....I need a bulk discount on rabies shots .

Thank you.

I made a video a while ago (I didn't have a still camera at the time) and my twins were helping me pack the bags. We took the items to the local Salvation Army Kitchen.

I don't take photos of the regular bags and helping items I give to my brother or my ex-husband, but we do it often.

I've found that giving abundance begets more abundance.

Not a huge thing but some of my cashiers at Shoprite need coupons. They buy stuff I never eat or use thankfully. In another thread that nearly started a riot I spoke of getting free inserts, like 20 of them, for the second month in a row. So here is a picture of my first round of donations from the gifts I received. A small fbr going to a Military family in Japan and 10 each of all the always q's plus 2 ips. 52 q 's to my girls at Shoprite and about pound of q's to Japan.

So I have posted about these neighbors before. They are awful. They just moved in two more people for a total of like 8 ppl and 3 kids in 500 sq ft. They are getting thrown out. It takes a long time when you are dealing with people on assistance. Sometimes a year to get them thrown out. I have had to call the police on them so many times it's sad. Their domestic violence is so bad it triggers my own bad experiences with my ex. I truly do live in hell. We are working on getting out trust me.

So I volunteer for the TNR program to get cats fixed for free and tried to get one of theirs and they nearly attacked me. Said cat is being abused but cannot prove it. The last time the DH fed the poor thing it was under my car hiding from it's owners. The cat isn't visibly damaged so I can't get them busted and the cat into a good home. I can feed them though.

The one guy they moved in used my address for his social services and got my own medical assistance turned off and I am still fighting that. I got the post office to reverse the address change and my post man and I are tight. So he is refusing all their mail and returning it to sender.

I have no reason to help them but cannot stand to see their two cats suffer so I have a big bag of cat food and some treats my cats are ambivalent about so I RAOKED it to them. They wouldn't even come to the door so I left it between the screen and door. I had to do it on the sly as my DH and commune members would pitch a fit for me helping them.

With luck I can convince them to let me fix their cats and get their rabies shots for free but I doubt it. At least they will eat for a while.

So thats my good deed of the day and the little princess in the picture is one of my own darlings, Luna.
