Please donate money to your local food bank if you are able.

Please donate money to your local food bank if you are able. Then they can purchase items that are wanted and needed but are rarely donated & that compliment what they already have on hand.

Thank you. ❤️ 🙏

The organized food banks with enough money can buy in bulk...more food and items at a wholesale like price rate verses our retail price.

Our local food bank is well stocked. We donate to one back there in the States that was recommended to us by a friend who is a former governor of the state where it is located. We figured that if anyone would know if they needed it, he would.

We have numerous food banks here where people can donate. It's a great time to clean out the pantry and pick up a few items at the grocery store to help others. For those who are donating, please remember baby food and pet food.
