While food banks are appreciative of all donations, they do try to avoid certain items.
Foster told TODAY that in her experience as a smaller pantry, meat and fresh vegetables are highly coveted food items.
“A lot of the donation boxes have canned meat and cooked meat, like meatballs and chicken patties, to serve unhoused families, or folks without kitchens,” she explained. “But fresh meat and vegetables make people with kitchens very happy.” For community grassroots food efforts like hers, Foster advised people to give what no one will get anywhere else.
“Pantry items,” she said. “Salt, sugar, condiments, baking items, spices, herbs, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayo, Sazón, garlic powder, hot sauce. Every couple of months we did giant pantry giveaways where the community gave us cash, and we just bought all kinds of pantry items. People loved it because they are getting boxes with squash and cooked meatballs, but no cooking oil, no salt.
