Having a food drive or wishing to donate to a local food bank?
Although most foods are accepted by local food banks, some foods are healthier than others. Also, the needs of one food bank might differ from the needs of another. It’s a good idea to call the food bank (you wish to donate to) ahead of time to see what items they need donated.
