> They would be taking on the expense, but with the US Postal Service having still probably the most comprehensive last-mile coverage of any transportation system in the US, I think the cost is significantly less than some here are expecting.
So, a little back-of-the-envelope estimating. A twelve-pack of canned corn, in 15oz cans, has a shipping weight of 14.6 pounds, according to Amazon. Let's use a family of four, who might need three cans for dinner every night for a month (one meat, one corn or potatoes, one green vegetable). That's a 12-can case every four days, which is 7.5 cases for the month, which comes to 109.5 pounds of shipping weight.
Let's break that into four boxes at 25-ish pounds each. (Remember, this only covers the cans needed for dinner, not including breakfast and lunch.) To ship one 25-pound box from Los Angeles to NYC costs $66 and change. That's $264 for all four boxes. Now obviously savings can be had by not shipping so far, and getting corporate rates, but it's still going to be a significant expense - and one that's not buying any food.
(Remember, this isn't a whole truck of boxes of corn all loaded in one place and being driven to another place where they are all unloaded. This is a truck full of heavy boxes, each of which goes to a different address, some of which may be quite remote.)
Will that $264 really be covered by buying the food at wholesale rather than retail? I don't know, but my back-of-the-envelope estimations make me skeptical. With the current system there's no box-packing expenses, no expenses to figure out which type of food box each family needs (vegetarian, kosher, etc.), no delivery expenses, and no infrastructure needed to track down boxes that haven't arrived.
I'd love to see some more detailed/accurate estimates for the cost of this program, to see where the money would go, what it would be used to purchase, and how that would translate into usable food value for the end recipient.
