we have 3 large drive in our small town to fill our Pantry. The postal works do one, the scouts do one, and the high school does one....
I tend to donate tuna, dried beans, rice, peanut butter, soups, oatmeal,crackers, veggies , powdered milk , our Dollar store has "juice boxes" of shelf stable 2% milk ( it actually tastes like milk!!( I'm allergic to milk.. so I only cook with it... and this works great for me.. no half gallon to go to waste) and what ever canned goods I bought to try and my family did not care for...
When my DH and I both still worked.. we always got a BIG turkey and or hams from work... way to much for just the 2 of use to eat... we donated these to food kitchens/ pantrys.
