    1) Dump all your extra produce on their table.
    2) Help yourself to some pennies from their honesty box.
    3) Profit!

      Shame.

      Also tulip in the UK that most food banks don't take fresh produce.

        I tried feeding it carrots, only to learn that horses cannot survive on carrots alone

        In the end I took it up to an old Scottish couple in Orgiva. It hated me, probably becauseof the carrots.

            I think the dog wanted the carrots.

              The dog got the carrots. My rescue dogs are fearless.

                    Lettuce soup is meant to be good. Always sounded a bit wrong to me but I reckon if you substituted it for spinach in a spinach pea mint and lemon soup, it would come out fine.
