Donated Tuna into California Rolls, or Mexican Casseroles

For the donated tuna cans at the food banks, battered women's shelters, or pregnant teen shelters, you could also make it into organic, brown sushi rice, cucumber & spicy mayo-dressed tuna California rolls.  Or add a low-fat, chili-spiced cream cheese to it, for Philadelphia sushi rolls.

Tuna is high in protein, but for those, especially children, who don't prefer fish at all, consider mixing it with:

-Cheesy, mashed potatoes, with potatoes that have been boiled, then put through a ricer kitchen tool to mash/cream them (just use the ricer on the tuna meat to drain it and grind it into a more fine texture)
-Finely minced white, button mushrooms
-Organic, lean, ground chicken (75% of the ground chicken, with the 25% of donated tuna, drained)

Form it into a meatball and flatten it into a mini-burger patty, to fit into a muffin pan, misted with grapeseed oil. Put a thick layer of shredded, mild, pasteurized cheddar cheese over top it.

Then, bake for 20 -30 minutes, center rack, preheated oven at 350°F, until the ground chicken is completely cooked and the cheese melts. Check it with a meat thermometer. Toast whole-grain bread slices, place the patties in between the toast and cut it with kid-friendly cookie cutters to make it more appealing.

Or you can turn it into a Mexican soft tacos/soft burritos casserole. Make sure to mix it with a 75% ratio of organic ground chicken or organic, ground turkey also.
