Serving the most vulnerable and ensuring no one is hungry is the top priority for our food banks and community food pantries. Economic strains can have a huge impact on our neighbors, friends, and family, and these organizations work hard to serve those who need it the most.
Due to the effects of the economy and supply chain issues, food banks and community pantries have adapted their operations to offer a variety of service methods (including emergency boxes for delivery and drive-up pickups of groceries) to reach the most vulnerable people as quickly and safely as possible.
While what we take in this category varies by city, here is what is generally included.
Canned foods
Food in jars
Packaged snack bars
Food in boxes
Shelf stable beverages
