I went to a Community Kitchen/Pantry tonight and here was the sequence of events:

1. Me: I would like something that isn’t expired. (This was at the counter where 1 person is able to receive 2 items) 
2. Volunteer: Nothing is expired here.
3. Me: I received those chips the other day and those are expired.
4. Volunteer: Let me see. Yes. Expired in August but they are still good.
5. Me: Just be quiet to the comment “They are still good.”
6. Volunteer: ‘Checking another item’ Yes. Expired in August.
7. Volunteer: “Checking another item’ Yes. Expired in April. 
8. Volunteer: ‘Checking another item’ These aren’t expired. She was correct.
9. Me and my Spirit team aka God: Good job. You proved the point. Walk away now. 

I also served aka volunteered at a different community kitchen and before I realized it I was serving expired whipped cream.

How many community kitchens are serving expired food and cooking it without saying a word? I bet most. I won’t assume though. I will volunteer at them and personally let you know. 

So far: Community Kitchen in Jeffersonville, IN serves expired food. 

More to come. 

Jesus, I apply your blood to all community kitchens and food pantries that are serving and cooking up expired foods and turning a blind eye. May their eyes be opened and their mouths be forced to only serve up to date healthy food. Thank you. Amen.
