What does my local Food Bank need?
Food banks welcome food low in fat and sodium, high in protein and rich in all the kinds of good ingredients that you would find in your own home. They are looking for healthy options to make sure individuals and families who need assistance are getting nutritious meals. Here are a few examples they would gladly accept:

• 100% juice (no high fructose corn syrup)
• Holiday foods such as yams, cranberry sauce and stuffing mix (low in sodium)
• Vegetables (low-sodium or no salt added)
• Canned tuna, chicken or salmon (great protein source)
• Unsalted nuts (high source of vitamins and protein)
• No sugar added fruits cans or cups (great snacks for kids that is high in vitamin C)
• Shelf-stable milk (good source of calcium)
• Whole grain pasta, brown rice or oatmeal (great way to promote fiber intake)
• Olive and canola oil (provides healthier cooking thanks to their mono-unsaturated fats)
• Peanut Butter (protein rich and always in high demand)
