I think I did about 20 - I forgot to count.
I hope there's LOTS of charities about these days to help folks. I hope a coffee company does one, too. People need that. Do you donate to your local food shelf? Is any other corporation doing something like this? I hope a lot are. When you're hungry, it's dang awful !!!!
Boxed Mac & Cheese is perfect just as it is when you're three. But it's awful by itself, like Ramen Noodles. You have to play with it - You have to add things to it.
When I have boxed Mac & Cheese I like to add mushrooms and peas and onion and garlic. Sometimes curry powder is fun, too. And instead of adding milk and butter, yogurt is yummy. But I guess most starving people don't have all that and will just have to eat the boxed Mac & Cheese all by itself - but when you're really hungry it'll probably be as yummy as can be.

I ate too much of it when I was poor in St. Louis (eating the cheapest store brand of course). But then I didn't have all the things I like to add. I would add too much black pepper, to add something. Then I would make it too hot. ha ha.
Did you have a zippered sweater for just such an occasion?
(Let the first who hasn't had to nick a bit of food in his life in order to avoid being hungry, cast the first stone. Then ask why didn't he buy you a meal when you were hungry.)
I do donate quite frequently to local shelters, thrift stores, donation centers, etc. There is an *amazing* one here in town where I tend to drop off all my old clothes, the kids' clothes, and other various items. They sell the stuff for super cheap (Pants/jeans are the most expensive things and they'd never be more than $2...usually only $1 or less), the staff consists of volunteers, and the "profits" they make off selling items goes straight to purchasing bread, powdered milk, canned goods, etc, that they keep in the back and give to those who come in every week for assistance.
One year, I volunteered for a program that put together boxes of food for Thanksgiving for people in assisted living centers or those with really low income that had been recommended for assistance. The place I just described was able to donate the bread and milk for every single box....which was a few hundred. Simply amazing.
Anyway, that was really long and rambly, but the point is, we always donate when the schools are running their donation drives (I don't know of a food shelf here really), and I indirectly donate other food programs by dropping off all my stuff at that place and letting them resell and purchase food.
Oh, and mac and cheese? I don't usually cook the boxed kind like Kraft dinner. I find it cheaper to buy boxes of macaroni and blocks of American cheese....and it tastes much yummier, too, hehe.
I did a ton but I didn't really count.
I would hope they donate it like they said they would.
Once every few months we volunteer at a food kitchen. It's really a lot of fun and you see those people are no different than you are, just been dealt a bad hand and need some help to get back on their feet.
Can I ping if I have my pings turned off?
I did buy a bunch of school supplies for my neighborhood drive, though.
(I would have rather pinged you tofu to make you go EEEW - ha ha - but tofu isn't giving to charity, here)
I'd take tofu before I would mac and cheese.
(but they didn't ask me)
So for a name brand box of mac and cheese, you can have 6.
