A Catholic charity in Texas managed to give away nearly 25 tons of potatoes to the local community after receiving the massive donation as part of a food drive.
Catholic Charities of the Texas Panhandle’s Interfaith Hunger Project “received a HUGE donation of potatoes” from an anonymous donor earlier this month, the group said in a press release.
“And by HUGE, we’re talking the 50,000-pound range,” the charity said. “Because there’s no way we can distribute that many potatoes to our clients before they go bad, we are inviting anyone in the public to come and take as many as they can use FREE of charge.”
