After the work parties or pot-lucks, if there are surplus food in good condition, consider calling Second Harvest who will send refrigerated truck to pick-up for those less fortunate. http://www.secondharvest.ca/donate/index.php
It's easy. I did this for my company Xmas parties and had up to 8 full carts of tasty food for the T.O. shelter kitchens. From baked goods to many treats co-workers made for the parties, otherwise thrown-out at end of those get-togethers.
There're various companies that donate surplus food on regular basis. Second harvest drivers were on-time, friendly and helpful.
So when you plan an event, please consider help the less fortunate. I know many are tired of constantly being asked for money, but here's another way to enjoy and help others enjoy the holidays.
