Collecting for the Food Bank

This afternoon, A and I finally got the chance to go collect door-to-door for the Food Bank. It was a brisk day, but sunny and A & I had a nice walk. He collected 32 cans/jars/boxes of food in about an hour. His goal had been 30, so he felt good about it.
I wondered about the many people who asked what kind of food we wanted....umm, anything non-perishable will work. I got asked, is soup ok or canned vegetables. We've been donating through Scouts for almost 4 years now, so I guess its obvious to me - anything in my pantry would work. Though they probably would prefer the normal stuff, not like the Indian veggies we had for dinner tonight.
