LPT: If you work or own a grocery store or restaurant in a major city in the US there are protections for you to donate leftover foods to local food banks - consider donating this season!

There is a major misnomer that restaurants and grocery stores can be sued if food they donate is spoilt or makes someone sick - this just is not true! The government made legal protections against this to allow more donations to food banks!
