Reading the note, I can imagine how it rankled. My grumpy side read and responded as follows:
> We are in receipt of your very small box ...
Very small? Thanks for the measure of my gift!
> ... You should investigate for a food pantry in your neighborhood...
How about *search* for, not *investigate for*; and, please, I have enough to do than to be told by you to investigate!
> ...to a pantry nearby your home".
And, just how do you know where my home is? Just because it's the return address, doesn't mean it's my home!
Harumph!
/mini-rant
/insert a few giggles
Now that that mini-rant is out of the way, I can understand the caution by the food bank, but I am a little surprised they took the time to write at all. I would almost imagine, depending on what the item(s) was, they would have thrown it out rather than risk it.
