(Sort of a reverse Door Dash ... you let them know you have 12 cans of vegetables and three extra boxes of Bisquick or whatever, and they come get them for you and donate them on your behalf.)
But naaaaah, let's spend our time and energy helping doosh bags make a quick, sleazy buck and not contribute anything to society, like ... "working"
