I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank. I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any). We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

If you have non-perishable goods and can give them, that’s certainly better than nothing, but what usually ends up happening is everyone gives the same things and then we have like 100 cans of beans to give out

If you have any questions, ask! We will tell you if we need specific things, but usually we will just ask for cash. Especially for mutual aid, where there are a lot of non-food needs we try to meet
