Thank you Cabot Cheese!

A while back I entered a giveaway for Cabot Cheese for volunteering.  I didn't give it much thought, because I rarely win things from companies these days, so I entered and pretty much forgot I did..

Until a package showed up on my doorstep a couple of weeks ago.

disclosure, they gave me the cheese, but asked for nothing in return.. did I mention I got no notice I won save for it showing up on my doorstep?

In the box were six other boxes..

and in each of these boxes, was a box..

And inside that box...

so 600 units of cheese!!  Talk about overwhelming!!

talk about your boxes..

You thank us Cabot, we thank you for these boxes we are about to enjoy.. 

I donated five of the boxes to the shelter.  I told them I would like to use it for the Kitten Shower that is coming up next month.  Unfortunately they don't seem feel the need to use the donation as intended.  Last I heard they were seeing if it was feasible to use it to give medications to the dogs.. (The dogs! *sigh*  not that I hate dogs, I just really feel the cats are under supported and that is where I intend my donations to go)   There was also the thought that since they are all individually wrapped there is the belief that wrappers would end up on the grounds (aka people wouldn't dispose of them properly) so instead of using my donation as is, there is intention to unwrap them and put them on a platter.. *sigh*  I guess I will have to re-evaluate my donations in the future.

I'm glad I saved one box out and gave it to another organization who was THRILLED to have it.. and near the end of the day all but a handful were left.. Considering there were less than 100 volunteers and there was fruit and chips and pizza and chocolate up the wazoo, I would say the cheese was VERY appreciated.  Not everyone wants high sugar snacks..

So thank you Cabot for doing this!  I totally appreciate the donation and the chance to help..

and I thank you for this box..
