   I bought some chili… just curious but I debated on getting with or without beans. What do you think is best?

  I personally hate beans so I’d say without but I don’t think it makes much of a difference.

  Animals can’t get to the cans.

  Hi Luna,
  I have animal issues also. I put a note on my mailbox Food on front door inside screen. Then I hang the bag on my door knob. It’s worked so far.

  Try a small cardboard box and tape the bag on top of it?

   Would donating cooking oil be good?

  I wouldn’t reonlinemend donating cooking oil due to this is is very messy if it gets hole /punctured or it get crushed by all the cans being tossed on the piles.

  I think anything donated is a good thing. Of course, healthy items first. I donate everything, down to dryer sheets.

  On the postcard I got it actually suggests canola oil as an item to donate.

   I got a postcard in my mailbox regarding this and here’s what it says-“Donate items such as pasta, cereal, oatmeal canola oil, peanut butter, and canned goods including beans, fruit, vegetables, soup, tuna in water, meat and sauce. Avoid glass containers.” Hope that helps 🙂

   If it fits in the mailbox you can place inside with the flag up. I do this bc of animals and weather.

   Please no glass! We can usually hear when we pick it up if somebody has put some inside their bag but inevitably we miss some and sometimes they break. If the weather is going to be bad Sat in your area just leave it out sometime this week. We picked up some last Sat. Some people leave town for mother’s day too and donate early. Thanks everyone!

   In our local newspaper it also said toothpaste/ tooth brushes/ shampoo etc are needed. A great time to donate some of that free toothpaste we’ve been getting lately, thanks to Hip@Save!
