Top 11 Items Needed By Food Pantries

Introduction

With the holidays approaching, many people like to donate canned goods and other staples to area food pantries for the needy. Their generosity is greatly appreciated by those who are served by the pantries and by those who run them. It is good to remember, though, that there are people who are going hungry every day, not just during the holidays. If you are blessed enough to have plenty to eat, why not consider sharing with those who are less fortunate. When you are doing your regular grocery shopping, add a few items from the list below to donate to your local pantry. This list is from a newsletter distributed by www.dosomething.org. You can read about their current emergency canned food drive, with a goal of one million cans by 2008, at the link provided. Explore other ways at the site that you can do something to help your fellow man by volunteering your time, talents, and services or by donating to deserving charities.
