If you have a home garden, and you grow more than what you can use, what do you do with the extra? Do you give it to friends and family or do you give it to those in need by way of food pantries at churches or a food bank? Do you give it to homeless shelters? Or do you just let it rot and throw it away?
Vey good we should all grow our own food Its the only way to be sure that it is OK these days We give most exstra food to friends ,ad the rotten stuff is for the wild boar ,the rabbit and the squirrels eat a lot of mangos. I like the idea of giving it to the poor. In Africa ,the top grade stuff went to the restaurant kitchen,or we sold it to visitors . And the rest went to the people working the gardens. anything rotten was for the animals. If you go to the trouble of growing food,which is a lot of work ,it would be crazy to let any of it just go to waste.
mostly you cannot give fresh fruit and/or vegetables to any kind of food bank or shelter as they only accept canned and non-perishable items so that they can save them and give them away when needed; therefore, anyone with a garden surplus would likely be unable to donate it, unless a shelter took it and used it right away.
What my dad do is to give them to friends, family and neigbors! Don't trow them away lol after they have been ate the part of the fruits that can't be eated trow those away, those works as abone lol Also the seeds you can use them to plant more fruits or give them to another person wich will like to plant fruits and stuff hehehe I don't think you can give those to churches because I think they just accept food in can and in boxes and not fresh fruits :( lol But now in summer there are camps for kids so I think you can give them to those camps! Sorry for not been helpfull I don't know much about this and I live in another country lol My original tongue is spanish so, sorry about my ortography xD
