Add in that Safeway is closing theire Warehouse here in Maryland so that leaves Giant as the main contributor to the WASHINGTON area food bank . They use to get anywhere from a truck to three trucks a week from our warehouse alone. It's not "bad food" it's food the was ordered or delivered wrong and won't be good by the times it is taken back or food that is close in on their "sale by date".
