With more households than ever before needing assistance with food donations, you might wonder how you can help. Second Harvest lists the "most wanted" items that food pantries love to get during these times. What's at the top of their list? Start with canned proteins like tuna, ham, chicken, peanut butter and canned beans. Then think filling and quick-to-prepare items like instant mashed potatoes, pasta, canned sauces and hearty soups. Finally, don't forget that personal care products like shampoo, deodorant, soap, diapers and toilet paper are necessities, too.
