Just this past week I received a heart-warming letter of gratitude from a Food Pantry I had picked out at random from a web search. I had sent them a can of something just because their address was in the required shipping zone.
It felt really good to know I made a difference. At the same time, I don't know how I feel about the tax implications, if any.
In the same week I received a return-to-sender package I had shipped to a different Food Pantry I had picked out at random from a web search. They were out of business or had moved or something, but the internet hadn't caught up quite yet.
No loss, no foul. I would simply re-gift the can of something to another Food Pantry in the shipping zone.
