queerenbian:@systlin My homeless encampment in Seattle is roughly 80% white and still gets a ridiculous amount of these things. We have probably enough for five years of use already. If you are going to spend money on things to donate, take a little time to ask what the organization is most in need of. That way your donation will do much more good! It’s in everyone’s best interests. This also goes for food donations. We get way too many sweet pastries and cakes, and way too many canned vegetables. Not enough fresh food and nowhere near enough of easy-to-prepare dinner entrees. We only have a microwave to cook with, so anything that requires a burner or an oven won’t get eaten. Other places might have different needs. Ask, please? -- source link
