If you don't give to a food bank I hope you will really consider it this year if you can. I realize that not everyone can and that's okay. I hope that people will give some of the extra little things that are not thought of often. This has come up in another thread but I thought a thread regarding the "needy" might be in keeping at this time. Food is very important and the kind of food is also important. I think many have the tendency to empty out their cupboards of all the stuff that has been sitting there unused. If you don't need it - they probaby don't either. Think of nourishing things that come pre-packaged because food banks don't take it if is not pre-packaged. As well as food people need things like bar soap, dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, toothpaste and anything else you can add to that list. I'm sure they get bombarded with things like boxed macaroni and cheese. Only so much of that stuff you can eat. How about some jars/tins of pasta sauce and some plain pasta for example. Goes further and some tinned sauces have meat in them.
I hope this doesn't turn into a war of how many people use the food banks when they don't need them. We all know there are the cheap and the lousy out there but lets keep this about those who truly need it.
