The time share where we stayed while on vacation had a box in the guest lobby where you could donate your unopened food, soap, etc. to be donated to the local food bank. We were happy to do this, but we also had some opened items which we did not want to throw away, but also did not want to haul on the plane. After talking to the receptionist, we learned that we could leave these items for the cleaning and maintenance crews. This was a wonderful way to help others while also practicing 0 waste.
We found out that the local high school kids were doing a clothing drive for the homeless and as luck would have it, we came across a store that was having a closeout sale and were able to purchase several brand new, quality clothing items at a very good price. We were happy to help out in a community that had been so kind and welcoming while we were on vacation.
