Police: Man says he stole to feed family

[sad sally]

18. Here's a way to keep edible food in people, not landfills.

In our small county, both one independent grocery store and one major chain donate to the food bank. It takes volunteers, but can help those who need it most.

FOOD, GROCERY AND FOOD DRIVES

Food and Grocery Donations

Each year the Feeding America network of member food banks distributes over three billion pounds of food and grocery products to hungry and needy Americans in communities across the country.

Whether you are interested in donating a truckload of onions, several pallets of close-to-code granola bars, a tote of frozen vegetables, a pallet of mixed and assorted dairy products, or 20 cases of shampoo, we ensure your donation reaches millions of Americans in need through our network of member food banks. Our members can transport dry, refrigerated, and frozen products of any quantity from your warehouse or plant.

Food banks routinely handle products deemed close-to-code, out of code with extended shelf-life recommendations, off spec, discontinued, seasonal, promotional, overage, etc.

If your company is interested in donating bulk food and/or groceries, please visit the Product Donations section for more information.
