Food Bank!
Okay, it's that time again. And I was reminded by a PSA from the U.S.
Postal Service - next Saturday, May 14th, if you put a bag or box of food by
the mailbox the postal carrier will pick it up. (This is assuming the
neighborhood kids don't break into the bag/box in the meantime, which is
what happened to me.)
Check with your local food bank about what items they will accept and what
they have the most need for.
Our local food pantry cannot store perishable items (not that you'd want to
set those out by the curb, anyway) or fresh vegetables. (Pity, that.) And
no glass. But don't forget it's not all about food. Paper goods are more
than welcome as are diapers, etc. Get crackin', folks! Time to line up the
donations! You never know when you might need a helping hand yourself.
