It’s that time of year again when I remind people that donating even $5 to food banks and pantries is better than saddling them with all your unwanted canned foods.
Canned goods have a particularly low rate of charitable return. They’re heavy and awkward to manage, they’re difficult to fit into a family’s meal plan. Ppl buy their canned goods at 4x the bulk price that can be obtained by food banks. Please just donate a few bucks.
I share this, btw, not to criticize anyone. So many of us grew up doing canned food drives at school/church--it's something we automatically do around the holidays now because we've been told it's more helpful than it is. Just trying to correct this idea.
