Just a comment/question.
In Washington we have a Statewide food umbrella org called Northwest
Harvest which collects and distributes "18 million pounds of food each
year to nearly 300 food banks and meal programs in 36 counties across
Washington."

Isn't there a similar organization is Mass.? We have a pretty large Ag
sector but I would have thought there would be something similar in
other states.

Yes, we get about 600 - 800 pounds of food from them each Wednesday.
Not much but it certainly helps. We have to go into Boston. Lots of
salvaged stuff, but it is food and there is nothing wrong with it.
Our biggest problem is getting meat and fresh milk. We use a lot of
Parmalot milk.
