I had a lot of strange food items to donate. Offered it on the neighborhood chat and to family and had no takers. Didn’t want to throw it out so I typed into google maps “food bank near me” it took me to the New Beginnings church in brick and they were super easy and nice and offered a tax receipt. Figured I’d let people know In case it could help anyone …
ETA: didn’t want to give my stuff to a Yeshiva cuz a lot of it was OU-D or fish without a heimish hechsher and a few weird dietary items

Ask your LOR if donating to a church is permissable according to Halacha.

I’m aware. It was 3 diff type of syrups with OU-D and a bunch of kasha products, some interesting oat products and some can fruit I ordered from amazon that was supposed to have a hechsher but showed up without it. Also sardines I bought for a cleaning lady I used to have, it’s not a reputable hechsher and more like that …
