i hope I am wrong; can someone inform me?
Also today I saw photos of Winn Dixie trashing 1000s of pounds of expired meats, frozen goods etc. This seems a terrible waste to me. Could not they have offered the food prior to spoilage to anyone who could pick it up?
I know it is easy to criticize but if I had known, I woild have been willing to help. There are so many needy people in our area.

This was and is an unprecedented and very unlikely event here in Central Florida. Kind and loving church people probably are scrambling to have plans in place we aren't aware of to help. Perhaps if you call your church and tell them you are willing to help organize and oversee the things you see missing. Or choose mine.
Winn Dixie was probably not aware their generators failed until after the fact and it is possible that by then the unfrozen meats had warmed to a doubtful temperature for safety. Winn-Dixie would be just like me, unsure to offer food that had gotten too warm to anyone.
