What we take
Food takeout extras
We all get takeout food delivered and often it comes with extra stuff we don’t need.
Sometimes that’s utensils when we have perfectly good silverware already.
Fortunately, there is a group of people in our community who need this stuff and we are excited to feature this as a Ridwell category. Whether you’ve been saving these up already or will start to now, we can take any amount off your hands and put them to good use.
