Next time you're at the store

Add a few extra cans of soup or a jar of peanut butter to your cart. Drop them off at a box near the store. Log the visit so others know it's freshly stocked.

Tips: what to buy and how to do it efficiently

Good items to donate

  • Canned goods: soups, vegetables, beans, fruit
  • Shelf-stable protein: peanut butter, canned tuna or chicken
  • Grains: pasta, rice, oatmeal (in sealed packaging)
  • Snacks: granola bars, crackers, dried fruit
  • Hygiene: soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo — travel or dollar-store sizes fit well

Shopping efficiently

  • Dollar stores (Dollar Tree, Dollar General) are great for canned goods and hygiene items
  • Grocery store sale sections and BOGO deals stretch your budget
  • Costco or Sam's Club bulk purchases of peanut butter, pasta, or rice are very cost-effective — split a run with a neighbor
  • Individually packaged items stay fresh longest and are easiest to distribute
