Whew, I wanna know what kinda shower led to this kind of thought so I can avoid it.

For one thing, canned goods are damn near the best donation to a food bank because they’re so shelf stable.

And, they’re as useful as monetary donations.

If you wanted to use the same basic comparison it would be more like: donating cream of mushroom soup to a food bank is like donating syringes to a cancer research lab.

Yeah, they’re both useful technically, but they don’t really help much
