Those cans would require storage for 6 years. Then someone would have to make sure they are used before they expired. Now compare that to cash the company could put the surge of cash into an account and buy the right food.
- falcolas 7y agoCash just begs to be spent. A company (whether for- or non-profit) with a cash surplus will strongly tend to invest that money in expansion, especially over 5+ years.
- tptacek 7y agoEvery "expanding" food bank is going to be significantly better at efficiently converting capital into food than you are, so donating cans to those kinds of food banks is simply throwing money away. Just give them cash. Give them less cash if you're so worried about misuse of proceeds.
