Dear Breakfast, I found you while just scanning KZbin, and of all the dumpster divers, I have to say you are the sweetest and most sincere of all the dumpster channels. We do not have dumpsters full of food in my country, as the big chains donate food for charity. Some of our shops will sell food at 50% on it's sell by date, and if I find it, I will buy and freeze. I hope you continue to find lots of stuff and make money from it and your channel (and share with others that is less fortunate).

I just wanted to let you know that I cleaned out my pantry and I had some items we just weren't going to use.

I wish this was the case with more. I live in Brisbane and work at a major supermarket who partners with a program to feed the homeless (trying very hard not to use names here lol) and the amount of food that ACTUALLY goes to them is ridiculous. It's tiny. Some days we have 8-10 trolleys overflowing with in store baked bread that can't be sold the next day which ALL GO STRAIGHT INTO OUR DUMPSTER. It's absolutely disgusting. It actually makes me ashamed to work there. They crow about how they're doing so much good feeding the homeless when they're actually doing the bare minimum they possibly can while still making it look to the general public like they're doing something amazing. I used to volunteer for a charity who provided food hampers to clients doing it tough and asked to take this stuff to give to our clients and was told no.

I use to work at a small town Walmart super center in grocery inventory control.When I started there, we threw all damaged and out of date products in to the trash compactor. One day our supervisor had us place all of the expired and damaged food into a grocery cart . He then took it to the store manager and showed him how much good food was going to waste all because of a date on a label or damaged packaging. It took a bit more convincing but our manager finally agreed to donate all of our expired and damaged foods to our local food bank. Plus our local Hy-Vee was already doing the same thing. He didn't want to be looked down on by the community for not helping the less fortunate. I do commend you for what you do for your community. GOOD JOB !!

Jojo they can give it to others but you have to go get it. My church does it all the time and brings it for all to take home.

[@magicandles]

That is true but they can be given away a day before if so

When I got busted at Aldi last week I was also beyond stunned ...the dumpster was FULL of perfectly usable items ...completely FULL 😣

[@thishappycrafter272]

Keena Harding Did they say anything to you?

[@JustMe-ww6fi]

@@thishappycrafter272 Yep told me to leave the property or they could call the police ...i left easily ha

[@thishappycrafter272]

Keena Harding Ackkk!! Are you (or did you) go back after or before work hours?

[@LGAussie]

Keena Harding I hope y went back at night! These ppl are so unevolved!! They have no clue that rotting food in landfills cause so much methane gases!! Don’t they care about their children’s world with less plastics in the oceans, clean air, etc??

[@asthecrowflies737]

MILLIONS of $$$ worth of perfectly good food is tossed out EVERY DAY. Completely inexcusable. People in need have you to thank for giving them a meal. Keep on doing what you do!!

[@beeforbarbara92]

May god keep blessing you for the amazing things you’ve given/doing to the community!

[@mandabrokenwings]

I love that you donate the food and things you don't need that's awesome keep it up. I was homeless when young so that really touches my heart! Keep up the good work!!!

[@sherryrussell6003]

I'm be more then happy to watch any of your vlogs thank you for your kindness

[@romeo5396]

Just started watching. You are right it burns me up too I've been going thru a hard time and being hungry and seeing how much food is wasted breaks my heart. Thank you for saving what you can

[@carriebrasseur6611]

As a merchant in Ohio, we are required by law to discard expired or out dated foods. The dates are usually sell by dates and the foods are not bad. I agree with you, it should be donated to anyone in need.

[@NinaM-82]

Seeing you fill that little pantry made my heart so happy. Thank you for giving back. I Love your spirit 💜

[@deborah5531]

My little town has one outside the library I give it lots of things, with it so cold I took a look through my closet and donated some hoodies and blankets that we had piled up

[@dustysfinds9900]

I know you love to give to your little food bank, but, I cant even tell you exactly JUST HOW MUCH you Actually Help more than You could EVER KNOW!!! I'm not even around there but I KNOW PERSONALLY that if there were something like that near me that i would be Very Grateful!!!

[@NinjaJoanie]

I think it’s a convenience thing for the stores. If they’re approached by someone who will come collect the food and transport it, they might do it. It’s wild to me! I’ve helped collect breads and other foods for pantries....it’s a strange system. We’re meant to take care of each other. Thank you for being an incredible person!!

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Good for you to see the good you can do gathering and donating food. Many people get only a couple of days of food at each food bank. This is deliberate, so that the recipients will look elsewhere to get their needs met. That "pantry" is a great idea, in a local area, without questions asked. If only these "store managers" were prompted to get their expired goods to those closets in their areas, there would be so much more good that can be done. Why should anyone be hungry in our affluent country, so sad. It's just plain bratty to not think of or do for a fellow American, who needs food. You're setting a good example.
