One way to help in your community is to donate food to your local food bank. The most-wanted items include complete meals in cans (like soup and chili), canned tuna, peanut butter and healthy snacks like granola bars and dried fruit. But items like large bags of rice, flour and sugar are not wanted: Most food banks do not have the ability to repackage them for distribution. Also, if you donate glass, be sure to wrap it in boxes or bubble wrap to prevent damage in a donation bin.
