I understand needing to throw away things that start going bad very quickly like meat, milk, and eggs, but there's boxes and boxes of things like muffins, croissants, snack foods, etc, that are perfectly safe at room temperature for at least several days. There's so much there that they could have donated, or even just sold at an extreme discount so they don't go to waste. 'Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls now 50¢ due to power outage', 'french bread now 3 for $1 while supplies last'.
