Nope.

I’ve never understood the silliness of buying food products at retail, plus then paying sales tax on top of that, when these charities can buy the same items at wholesale and NOT pay sales tax.

Donate CASH. Moolah, Dinero, Bread. Let the food banks buy more than you can for less.

I’d agree with the cash option, too. Food isn’t taxed in Wisconsin. (Yet!) I take advantage of BOGO-Free sales throughout the year, too.

Food in my area has no sales tax.

Oregon Food Bank has been popular and very successful for years. I used to donate money as well as food and other items. A couple of years ago I got a letter from them stating they were expanding their program to other social programs beyond food. I smell democrat money laundering.

I only donate food to the food bank now. I donate money to the grocery stores that take that money to donate to the food bank.

Items that are taxed are likely not priority food items
