Tips for donating

• Check expiration dates: Only donate non-expired, unopened food.

• Stick to shelf-stable: Avoid items that require refrigeration, like fresh meat or dairy, unless the pantry specifies they can accept them.

• Consider convenience: Items that are easy to prepare, like mac and cheese or canned soups, are often the most appreciated.
