If anyone out there has the means, please donate directly to your local food bank in the form of cash money or whole cases of shelf-stable foods. Individual cans are fine to give, but individual cans require many times more work to distribute than whole cases because each can needs to be checked for damage, expiration date and label completeness (type of food and nutrition info have to be legible).
But really, money. A lot of the food that goes to food banks is near expiration. Money lets the food bank buy things like fresh produce, butter (food banks always need butter and never have it) and eggs that would otherwise be very hard to get.
If you’re hungry, look up your local food bank. They will give you food and if for some reason they can’t they will be able to point you to someone who can.
