Are you seeing a lot more canned goods coming through lately that are badly damaged? I went to Walmart to buy some canned dog food last week and almost every single can on the shelf was bent up and one looked like it was folded in half.
Is this a problem anywhere else?
Before I went on the road, any and all damage, discontinued, or close dated stuff went to Blessings of Hope in Lancaster County.
Does Blessings of Hope work completely off of donations? I passed one of their semis the other day. Also, they bought a tract of land in Bedford County, PA near Schellsburg.

Do you know what they're doing with that land?
