Its a great inititiave buddy but be careful lest you misinform others.

Once upon a point a time, a small person named Little Red Riding Hood initated plans for the preparation, delivery and transportation of foodstuffs to her Grandmother.
a) and transportation of foodstuffs to her Grandmother.
b) and transportation of food stuffs to her Grandmother.
c) and transportation of food supplies to her Grandmother.
d) and transportation of foodstuffs to her grandmother.
e) and, transportation of food supplies to her grand mother.

“foodstuffs” is a noun. is it a correct word. Check oxford and you will not find the word stuffs.
