Fellow Greenies:
Aldis has a way to donate their non-sellable food. It is through Harvest of Hope which delivers the foodstuffs to area food pantries and churches that have community meals. Aldis just needs to be reminded to hold their non-sellable food for HoH pick up, which is done on a regular basis.
