I have only one word to say, RE-GIFT!
Just pass the unhealthy crap onto all of your friends & neighbors,.. walla done outta sight and outta mind! Tell your MOM others need these things more than we do!!!!
One cool way to regift, since these are open, but still fresh, is to buy a cute dollar store airtight container, pour in a portion of the goody, and seal up.
Re: food pantries, unfortunately my new work schedule conflicts, but I used to volunteer for a community garden which donates produce to a local food pantry which operates a soup kitchen & pantry. The herbs (basil, etc) are especially popular as they're expensive to buy in the grocery store. Things like that are a great source of produce for food pantries and it's a nice way to get to know people in your community.
