What food banks need most (and what they get too much of)

This is the season of food drives. The cold weather and holidays heighten the demand for donations of all sorts to local food banks. This fantastic piece digs into food bank donations, highlighting the most useful items and those that won’t survive the trip through drop off, storage, packing, and delivery.

Worth a read and, if you please, worth passing along to your friends and family. [h/t Stu Mark]

  1. In 1980, there were 50,000 government run food bank in US.

    Now it is 500.

    All outsourced to private charities which are more interested in raising funds
    and giving Processed Can food to the poor. might as well start giving them cat food.
