So around 23 hours ago I made this comment. A bit of quick backstory here:
Our college has a "food debit" system. You are required to pay money into a "food" account, and if you don't use all the money before the end of the semester they keep the extra. My first instinct was to basically buy as many milanos and nutella as I could, since it was nearly the end of the semester. Why nutella and milanos? Mainly because they're awesome. However, I don't know if you've ever bought 40 jars of nutella but it's actually disgusting. Maybe not the taste, but the sheer amount is off-putting.
That being said I kind of wanted to get rid of them, but just throwing them at people in the hallway was boring so I posted on imgur instead, which lead to the comment...
@becomingabutterfly made a really cool suggestion, and it somewhat struck me how I never really thought about it before. So I googled around and found a place that would accept food donations. But I wasn't going to just be leaving them some nutella, and so the fun begins...
We cleaned out the local store (really, a small market) of all their pasta, canned soup, etc. That was a fun time getting everything cashed out. My roommate helped me with moving things to my car.
It filled my trunk completely!
We had to count out all of the boxes and cans once we arrived there. The totals of what I purchased were:
130 cans of pasta, soup, and the like.
54 boxes of pasta
10 jars of nutella (of course!)
2 jars of peanut butter
Which came to a grand total of $453.13 spent towards the food provided here.
And of course, the fabled nutella!
This is Paul
Paul is a worker at the kitchen who helped me with unloading, counting, and putting away all of the food that I brought in. He turned out to be a really awesome dude, and had a couple stories about working in the kitchen (but mostly about a lot of the nice people that come in there!)
And lastly the lowly OP
A little bit of timestamp. I feel like nutella santa
Edit: I just wanted to put out my thanks for everyone's positive feedback! http://imgur.com/gallery/pEcdX
HeyFreckleFace
Good job, OP! And I see you there, hidden words.

OMG that's amazing

Came for the nutella, upvoted for the goodness in humanity
1Rogue
I still have a lot of leftover nutella, heh

Thank YOU for working there!

Thanks! :-)

Is this RIT?
1Rogue
It is!

I don't always TU user sub stories, but you were OOP. Props for delivering, and props to Becomingabutterfly
bellaluna
Awesome OP is awesome! Thanks for being a good human, guy.

Genuinely eating nutella on toast right now. I feel guilty.

You're an awesome person! Also, you're cute :)

What's that face for? It was a legitimate question!

Who is the one asshole who downvoted this?!

@1rouge I shall have a Rouge beer in your honor (and for my birthday) this Saturday. Good on you sir.
randocommand

SOB can tell what was on my mind
1Rogue
;)
IDontKnowHowToHuman
I wonder if I have any RPGs on my computer that I can play right now, as a rogue-class, in his honor...
BythepowerofchristIamtheLaderlappen
Good on you OP. You are good people.
polpersonified
Downvoted so I could add two points with my upvote
itswhateverokay
YOU GO TO RIT! I recognize those fucking dorms (and corner store)!
ChordsofBilroth
Haha good old CoHo. We used to hold food drives right outside the corner store at the end of the year, do they not still do that?
1Rogue
*waves*
gingerinaseaoflame
Sorry, How did you have that much money left over that the end of the semester? It's awesome that you did that, but over $400 left over??
javaknowledge
It wasn't just him...it was a bunch of his friends and him
1Rogue
I get meal options as well as $700 semester debit. I used probably around $200 of that debit in total, I can use meal options (1/2)
1Rogue
to get things like macaroni and cheese, which lasts for plenty of meals (2/2)
cheesus309
+1 for not only delivering, but delivering more.

dis nigga b UPS he deliver so much
Thalizar
+1 for delivering, delivering more and LITERALLY delivering.
YourFriendlyNeighborhoodNeighboreeno
And delivering quickly, too!
Dashippy
You should do this every time you have too much of a food budget. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman. Literally.
1Rogue
I'm actually planning on it. There's no way I'm ever going to eat all the food, so why not donate
IDontKnowHowToHuman
That is the right way to think. "Why not donate it" is always better than "just throw it away" for stuff that's still good & usable.
Dashippy
Awesome.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
@sarah, I'd like to nominate @1Rogue for a medal. Whatever the Imgur equivalent is to a Nobel Peace Prize.
sarah
Done!
techkyle
I have no idea how you manage to have enough time to check out things like this. Super powers?
IDontKnowHowToHuman
YAY! That's super-sweet! :D :D :D

Heyyyy this at RIT! Good on you for using your massive debit surplus to positively affect our community!
1Rogue
Yup! Though I can never find any imgurians in the wild
iNeededAUsernameSoThisWillDo
We exist! You have to catch us browsing in one of the labs. Also, yay RIT.
Xethik
I know a handful of imgur lurkers on campus. Myself and most of the ones I know are graduating this year, though.
1Rogue
Well there's my first problem
Xethik
If it makes you feel any better, when I bought a bunch of nutella one of the imgurites I know covered himself in it (nude) and ran around.
1Rogue
That was my plan B

StrongBadMyDoge
Ah the good ol' days when you could buy non-food items with your debit money...
SomeoneSneaky
The knowledge that people like you guys exist makes me happy.
compoundblue
I'll buy you a beer if I ever catch you taking a break from helping the disenfranchised

Hit me up if you're ever in the Peoria, IL area. I'm too young to buy you alcohol, but I'll buy you a meal in return for what you did.

Thanks for the offer :)

Sighchologist
Hey man, that's a really cool thing you did. A lot of people depend on those food banks, and what you did helped a lot. Good on ya bud.
MycurlyhairsaysIcantgoouttoday
Save the totals of what you spent, you can claim it on your taxes next year. Try and have a receipt and remember the date you donated.
chemistrydoc
I just want to comment here so I can feel like a part of this awesomeness. You are awesome OP. I'm glad we hang out at the same internet.
MouseratFormerlyScarecrowBoat
I love you Chemistrydoc. Keep being awesome
1Rogue
Thanks!

Really awesome of you to do this. But is it just me or does $453 seem like WAY too much? I mean usually cans are about a buck a piece.
1Rogue
most of the stuff was around $2 each, 130 cans adds up fast
SparklingCockWaffle
Damn, more expensive than here. Either way, pretty awesome of you to do this. And you can write it off! Wooo ha
Sighchologist
If you ever find yourself in Austin, TX you've got a beer on me any time. Keep fighting the good fight!

Wow, 110 points! It seems no one found it yet, so I'll point out the fact that the timestamp photo has a secret in it
COakNelson
Not a secret. And shameless selfie. Give away stuff for other people. Not for yourself

Actually a small bit of outbreak unfortunately. I don't have volunteers for biting my head
Eowyneb

asheara
This is cool, well done! Also, totally look into tax breaks for the donations you made!

Someone bit your forehead.

Hey OP, you wouldn't happen to be at RIT would you?
rawrasaurus
I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING!!! That's the corner store and dorms, I swear!
DeusExSpockina
Confirmed by OP. Tigers unite!
rawrasaurus
Every time I see a post about college, I look to see if it's RIT. I knew it'd happen one day!
1Rogue
I am!
rawrasaurus
I knew it!

Oh good, I thought i recognized that counter. Hi from an Alum!
