Please Support Your Local Foodbanks - Time to bring this up again.

5. Thank you for this reminded

I volunteer at two different local food banks that are run by small churches. The first bank I volunteer for is like one that is described above. It's main focus is on providing clothing and household items that are given away for free. Hygiene bags are also handed out to the homeless. So, if the reader is able to purchase small items like deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, etc... that would be great. The cans that are pop top are also appreciated as they are easier to open than the ones that require a manual can opener.

The second one I volunteer focuses on distributing food. Peanut butter is always welcome. As the OP stated the food banks are often able to purchase food at a better price so cash is welcomed.

I volunteer one day a week at each of these banks and the amount people we help is growing.
