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 Repeating this: Give money to food banks, don’t buy things to give and for goodness’ sake, don’t clean out your cupboards and donate old stuff 🥲😔.
Food banks know what they need most and get better deals buying in bulk.
Donate. Money.
