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 Never heard of a reverse advent calendar.

I have monthly donations all year to various charities, including the local food bank. I only give "more" at Christmas for Adopt-A-Family/kids' wishlist things, not normal stuff.

My food bank says "$10 buys 30 meals". I can't do that at the grocery store. 🙂
