So as part of a cookoff I received a billion containers of grits. They are sealed cardboard containers. I test recipied so much I kind of can't look at them. Where can I drop them off for a good cause?

    CHIPS
    200 Fourth Ave between Sackett and Degraw streets

    NOTE: They are only open to offer lunch for those in need, so you'll need to drop off sometime before Noon. Otherwise they are closed by mid/late afternoon.

    or

    The homeless women's shelter at the Park Slope Armory
    8th Ave between 14th and 15th streets

    Ditto the Armory - they also take clothing and books (I donated 30+ paperbacks there 2 weeks ago)

    yes - dry or canned food. I didn't know that either until I saw somebody donating food before me when I was donating books.

    However...

    We had...like...70 chocolate cupcakes from Choice Market left over from an event and they were more than happy to pass them out when we arrived with them.

    Made for a nice late-afternoon snack for everyone (including the staff).

    So it's not always canned stuff. You might want to call ahead.
