Seriously, though, check into volunteering at a food pantry. Check out farmers markets and your local grocery store. There always seem to be leftovers that can't be saved, but are too good to be thrown away.

On a personal note, a volunteer shift at my local hospital gets me a free meal (up to $9 worth of food).
