In rereading my comment, my ADHD didn't allow me to note that I was intending them to be canned, perhaps buying time from another cannery not operating at full capacity.
I think if we had programs to look for excess produce, it might make sense. We already have logistics out there. I think it could still economically make sense - supporting farmers, still low cost food getting to food banks (who order food wholesale from somewhere, since monetary donations go further, so we know they use money to purchase things. Maybe agreements with local grocery stores to have these things delivered there... or wherever they pick up the wholesale food from).
Even if it did make sense, we still wouldn't do it. I just think it might be something we could figure out had we the will to.

You can read the article. They're closing because del Monte is bankrupt. Del Monte is a canning company. They are closing due to rising costs from tarrifs and the Iran war.
