Anderson SC Foodshare gives members a means of offering excess perishable or nonperishable unexpired/unspoiled food items that might otherwise go to waste.

The principle is very similar to FreeSharing or Freecycle and members can offer items such as excess items from government programs (infant formula, milk, etc), excess items from your cabinets and pantries, seeds, plants, fruit before it rots on the tree, excess veggies from the farm or garden, canned goods from their emergency survival stock, pet foods, and so on.

Use the following subject headlines: OFFER, TAKEN, WANTED, RECEIVED. List any special instructions, along with your pickup location (cross streets, city area, zip).

BASIC RULES:

 ~ FOOD items only, including pet food. No alcohol or tobacco items are allowed.

~ When possible include EXP. DATE or BEST BY.

~ List the location in each post.

 ~ Balance WANTED posts with your OFFER posts.

~ If offering garden items please post U pick or pre-picked.

~ Coupons may be posted. Please be willing to mail coupons for free if your respondent cannot pick them up in person.

 ~ All items must be Free, Legal Appropriate for All Ages.

~ No selling, no trading.

~ OFFERS and TAKEN are to be posted by the member giving the items. WANTED and RECEIVED are to be posted only by the member wanting items.

~ No flaming, no political or religious posts.

~ No SPAM (unless it's the kind that comes in a can).

~ Be Safe! Please take reasonable measures to protect your safety and privacy when posting to the list or participating in an exchange. ~ Please use the appropriate group for other items.There is to be NO selling of food items on this group - ALL ITEMS MUS
