“Commissaries in the U.S. where military families can buy inexpensive groceries tax-free are shutting doors Wednesday due to the shutdown.”
Think of the waste involving perishable food- produce, deli items, seafood, milk & dairy, meats, bakery items, etc.
Anyone who can find news about these items being donated to charity- please post in comments.
For those who question why on base shopping should exist in the first place- these are the traditional DOD military benefits that were used to entice people to stay for multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Recommendations for saving:
Phase out decades of ongoing, undeclared wars overseas. Phase out the Drug War, allow U.S. farmers to answer the global demand for Industrial Hemp.
