One year our garden was overflowing with potatoes. Waaayyy more than we could possibly use ourselves. After we gave away what we could to friends and family, we phoned up a food bank and asked if they would like to come collect the rest. They told us they were not interested in potato picking, but they would accept them if they were scrubbed, dried, bagged, labeled, and brought to their building between the hours of 1 and 3 pm on a Monday or Tuesday. I guess there is not much of a DEMAND for potatoes at the food bank?
