Thanks for the reminder, and thanks bumplett for the list of other things needed. I have the key to mine, as I use to be a mega couponer and would bring cases of things. I do like dropping off soaps, detergent and hair shampoos as people really need these and can't purchase with food stamps.
You all are so wonderful to spread some happiness and a meal to others.
Blessings everyone stay happy and warm this winter.*Angel*

You certainly gave me something to think about when I shop. I will do my best to remember to at least buy a spaghetti dinner for a hungry family... You have reminded me that I am very blessed and that WE could be that family someday that looks forward to that dinner! THANK YOU!

Some food banks have a website to tell you what they need the most each week. We like to look at ours before we shop so we know exactly what we can bring that will do the most good. Right now ours needs canned meat (tuna, ham, chicken).

Mahalo for this great idea - while it's easy to give like when the Salvation Army is sitting outside grocery stores at Christmas, it's all the other times of the year that need to be addressed. Our school has a couple of food drives each year for the Food Bank. Spaghetti and sauce is a wonderful idea - mahalo!!

I accept your challenge. Although I don’t think my Grocery store has a bin to put Food Drive items, I will contact the manager and see what can be done. If I fail in that regard, I will start making a monthly monetary donation.
Can we make this a formal challenge on FV?total debt: $23977.09 updated 04/02/11

Although I have been down and out a few times in life I am thankful I've never had to go to a food pantry. Now that things are better for us I have been trying to donate more often. I usually look to see what kind of doorbusters they have for the week and pick up ~6 cans (or whatever the limit is) to put in the bin. This week it was tomato sauce, week before it was canned vegetables. I hadn't thought about putting in toiletry items, thanks for the reminder.

Wow! I'm overwhelmed at the response from my little post!
I'm really glad that this has inspired you all to see what you can do to help.
Little things add up and like the butterfly effect, you never know what some very small kindness from one person can do for another.
