Let's not talk about how satisfying to the pride being on benefits for over twenty years is not.

Someone who I decided I know longer want to hang out with stopped by with a box full of expensive food. I did not let her in. I thanked her for the thought but refused to take the food in. She left it on my porch. After she drove off, I brought it in so cats would not get the salmon. Am I obliged to donate to food to a food banks or something if I don't want to renew the friendship? Material generosity has always been a substitute on her part for good manners and basic consideration. So I definitely to don't want to deal with her again.

You should donate it somewhere and ask them to send her a letter of acknowledgment.

Turns out none of our local charity places will accept perishables in open containers (which makes sense). So neighbors are about to get a bonaza. I'll have to write the note passing on their thank yous,

I don't think you should, as that would just be feeding the beast. You refused her visit, you told her you did not want the food, and you don't want to deal with her again. ::shrugs:: So don't.
I am so sick of meetings. I can't get anything done if I always have to go to meetings!

I'm with Sparky, Typo. You are not bound by social obligation to someone who is not civil or polite.
She made a choice. She should not expect a response.
Silence is your friend.

Agreed with the others in re: the food. Hell, I'd go one step further and eat the hell out of it. She'll be none the wiser and she's caused you enough annoyance that you deserve a nice salmon feast. Enjoy!
