Expired food (Berkeley, CA)
Gifted
All are in sealed, untampered pouches, but cannot be used by the person who bought them because of a medical condition (and they had gotten a little lost in the pantry). Hoping someone else can still put these to use, even though they are all expired! Pick up Friday or Saturday (possibly early Sunday morning).

Non-toxic ice packs (Ann Arbor Northwest Side)
Nutri-Ice (pictured) and Enviro-Ice packs, multiple of each, please specify how many you want. Each about 6”x5.5”. If they ever get damaged, instead of having to deal with toxic goo, the inner part can be used as plant food! The outer layer is #4 plastic, so recyclable (inasmuch as any plastic is truly recyclable, but still way better than most ice packs). It says not to use them on your body, but honestly I’ve done that with no problems. Keep in mind that since it’s not the toxic-goo kind of ice pack, it does actually freeze fully. So if you do, take the precautions needed with real ice: be sure to wrap the pack in a towel and move it often enough to avoid frostbite. Obtained these being mailed organic food, so they have impressive staying power. Contactless porch pick-up.
