Can you donate alcohol to a food bank?

Sure you can. They’ll just throw it out, though, or the employees at the food bank will take it home.

The answer should be: We need an Alcohol Bank as a parallel charity to a Food Bank. So if I have too much rotgut whiskey, I would drop it off, and someone else can pick it up.

I would think that it is okay to donate alcoholic drinks, because the people that need the food banks are just like you and I.
Some like alcohol, some don’t.

They don’t have a liquor license though.

Put it out on Facebook. Someone will take it off your hands.

Yeah, except I don’t want a bunch of alcoholics showing up on my doorstep. LOL

People get around that by meeting at a neutral place like a convenience store or something.

Meeting a stranger in a parking lot to give them booze also feels somewhat illegal. Do I card them? Haha

Leave it on your curb tonight. It’ll be gone by morning.

Yes, we met some guy in the Walmart parking lot to give him some DVDs I had sold him. It did feel rather like a drug deal!

We’ve been instructed to meet any potential buyers at our local police station so iit will deter robberies.

Bad for the liver.

I don’t think that the food banks are allowed to accept alcoholic beverages. If you donate them, I think they toss them out with the trash.

Food banks are probably interested in reducing poverty, sickness (cancer), because of alcohol and other things.

Well since food pantries don’t hold liquor licenses I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any willing to accept it.

Of course, that’s the spirit.
