Your donations will help replenish
the shelves and allow the Food Bank to help our neighbors in need. * What food CAN you donate to your local food bank?
This is pretty easy. Food banks accept dry and canned food donations. Basically, any food that is “shelf-stable” or nonperishable that you can keep in your pantry and it won’t go bad. And remember, only donate food that hasn’t reached its “sell-by” date yet. Specifically, food banks often need items like: Peanut butter, Canned soup, Canned fruit, Canned vegetables, Canned stew, Canned fish, Canned beans, Pasta (most prefer whole grain), Rice (most prefer brown rice) While this is not an exhaustive list, it covers much of what food banks regularly need. Additionally, some food banks accept personal care and household items, since many families struggle to afford these and they are not covered by other food assistance programs. |
