Reasoning for my first message…my parents have 120 bags of Macaroni that expires at the end of June that we would love to donate and 18 bags of Pretzels Sticks…and some other items. We have collected food to donate to the Salvation Army but I only needed 100 items to make 10 hrs. If I can donate the rest of the bags of macaroni and the bags of pretzels, how many hours could I get? Please get back to us soon! As we are ready to donate these out to several food pantries if I’m not able to donate all this to you. Thank you. Hope you have a great week ahead.

Hello! I was wondering what the max hours is?
I know 5 items equals 1 hr. Am I able to Donate 25 items or more to get 5+ hours? I’m needing to make at least 10 hours. Thank you!
