Any moment now, as Christmas and (American) Thanksgiving get closer, people will start posting suggestions of things to donate to food banks and 'Reverse Advent Calendars'.

I can't stress this enough:
Just. Give. Money.

Food banks can usually get more bang for their buck than you can.
They'll probably be able to give you a tax receipt for money, but not for cans.
And it lets them buy, store, and distribute food in the volumes they need and can handle.

(Please boost to make sure people get the message.)

@jondrowe, yes! My niece runs our small town food bank, and you speak PUREST TRUTH! A lot of stores will give discounts to people who are buying bulk for a food bank, especially if they're registered as the buyer for said food bank and the bank is a registered charity.
