Get a case or two of food for the Food Bank with every visit. If you garden, add a row of potatoes, squash, cabbage, peas.
Shelf-stable food is key. At the top of the list are canned and boxed foods. Think about buying a case or two every time you shop. In times of great need, while cash donations are great, food banks have to stop and go buy food. If you also donate the right foods, food banks keep on filling orders for their clients.
