Donating money to food banks instead because they can make their money go further than you can prank
Came here to say this. Everyone I've ever talked to that worked at a food pantry has guaranteed me that they can get more food from $$$ than you can donate for the same $$$.
I'm sure that the economics could change, so if you can engage with you local food pantry and confirm their preference, that would be best. But, if you just want to drive-by donate $$$ > food >>> nothing.
So you're saying that poor people don't want to eat 20 cans of cranberry sauce?
No.
That is a separate and still valid point. Even if you are visiting a food bank, you still have all your same allergies, sensitivities, and preferences. The food bank itself will have a better idea of what they need to hand out.
I'm saying that even if the food bank needs 20 cans of cranberry sauce, instead of you buying for $$$ and donating them, it is better for you to donate $$$. The food bank can then buy the cranberry sauce for $$, and also buy some green beans for the leftover $. Your dollars buy more of everything when you give them to the food bank instead of buying the products yourself.
Yo I want to eat those cans send them my way
