I'm donating all those christmas sweets to a shelter

I'm a teacher, and I get upwards of 10 pounds of cookies and chocolates that I shouldn't eat every christmas.

I found my local homeless shelter and they were very happy to take my huge shopping bag of treats.

Before you throw out those unwanted gifts, try to find a way to donate them. Feels really good.

Happy New Year, DU!

My first thought before anything is thrown out is, "Could someone else benefit from this?" I absolutely ABHOR waste!

Edit for spelling.
