While it might seem like a cold-hearted decision to avoid supporting a local food bank, I arrived at the idea after a lot of thought. I'm going to donate to the Northeastern Ohio Food Bank. It took a hit right after the slime got elected.

I was born and raised near Cleveland, so I don't feel as mean about my choice as I would if I just picked a random food bank.
