Find a place to volunteer
Food banks need people to pack groceries, help at distributions, and support other programs. Find the food bank serving your area, then check its site for current volunteer shifts.
Give food or money
Ask your local food bank what food it needs and how to drop it off. Money donations also let it buy and move food where it is needed most.
