Should I donate food or money?
A: Based on our years of creating long-lasting relationships with the food industry and our significant buying power, the most impactful way to help provide food is to make a monetary contribution. For every dollar we receive, we are able to provide three meals.

I used to want to donate something that felt meaningful to me (say, a favorite comfort food), but it turns out that the expedient monetary donation is also the most effective in fighting hunger, because they have the expertise and relationships to use that money most effectively. I'll probably click to make an online donation, and then maybe when I go to the store, pick up something for the drop box that I can try to imagine someone enjoying.
