1. I got a card in the mail on Wednesday that the pickup was today. I shop every Sunday. in short they don't give me enough notice they're coming to prepare anything.

2. The local food bank has drives at my grocery store a few times a year where they give us a list when we walk in and i can buy stuff right there and give it to them on the way out. much more efficient way to run a food drive.
