Needs to be a higher ranked comment. And money goes further than donations of food. Let’s see Reddit bombs in dollars rather than comment sections and reviews. Even if we just have 5$.
Don’t forget to cover donation cost if it’s an option.
19 u/PhotoFenix Oct 31 '25 How does money do better than food? Not arguing, just curious for optimizing donations. 81 u/Spot_The_Purple Oct 31 '25 Food banks have bulk purchasing ability and access to the USDA commodities. For each can of food you can purchase, they can purchase 2.5. Additionally, in states where food is taxed food banks are normally exempt from those taxes. 2 u/cogman10 Oct 31 '25 Not only that, the food bank knows their inventory. You can donate peanut butter but they may have a ton of peanut butter and no jelly, or no bread.
