The truck driver had to get to his next delivery, so he planned on throwing all this perfectly good produce in a landfill. Isn't that just bananas? Luckily, we stepped in and rescued this rejected load and donated everything to the amazing nonprofit, JEE Foods, in Hamilton, Ohio where it was distributed to community members in need. We even got the driver unloaded in 15 minutes so he could get to his next load on time!

Any recommendations for keeping pur trucks safe from having the catalytic converters stolen twice? ------------------------------------------------------------- This week, we encountered an unexpected challenge when two of our catalytic converters were stolen off our trucks, each worth about $10,000. Our trucks are essential for picking up donations and delivering furniture to our clients, and being down two of them impacts our ability to serve our community☹️ We've rented a replacement truck, rescheduled some pickups and deliveries, and kept moving forward. What keeps us going is the incredible support system we have built together — our staff, volunteers, and generous donors. As we navigate this, we humbly ask for your help. Please consider donating today to help us recover from this setback and continue to transform houses into homes! 🔗 DONATE HERE: https://buff.ly/3YkalsA And just to be clear, we don't hold any hard feelings towards the folks who took from us. We understand that life can be tough, and we're all about empathy and kindness, no matter what. Thanks for sticking with us through the ups and downs! With your support, we can overcome anything and, in turn, help our neighbors in need do the same❣️ #HomeSweetHomeSTL #FurnitureBank #Donate #STLnonprofit #FurnishHope

The holidays are the most important time of the year for fundraising when nonprofits raise the majority of their annual operating revenue. At Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, financial donations are down about 20% from where we were at this time last year, and the food bank is receiving donations from fewer donors. As we move into the final days of December, Second Harvest still needs to raise $4M by 12/31 to stay on track with its annual goal. A staggering 1 in 6 people in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties are turning to Second Harvest for support. That equates to Second Harvest providing food to an average of 500,000 people every month. Last month we served 520,000 people. It’s critical we make our goal and we are asking our community to donate what they can to help at https://shfb.online/hm2023 —every $1 can help provide enough food for 4 nutritious meals with our current match. #FeedingSiliconValley

3wWait. Tell me more....the driver attempted to deliver, but the original purchasee didn't want them? Or the next truck load was way more valuable and paid more than delivering bananas?
