Do you donate?

I hear a lot about donating items your household will not use that you have gotten free or were a moneymaker or due to some other circumstances such as developing an allergy.

Who do you donate those items to? I prefer to donate to my local Feeding America Food bank. There are 200 Feeding America Food banks in the USA. To find your local Food bank and to learn more go HERE.

No matter what organization you donate to, you should research that organization. Did you know there are 1.6 million non profits registered in the USA? Charity Navigator is a wonderful resource to use to research organizations before donating to them. Go HERE to research your preferred organization.

But what about those items that have reached or passed the "expiration" date? Unopened dry food and canned food are labeled with a "best if used by" date. Did you know that these items are still safe to eat? Check out the Food Management Guide written by the USDA HERE. If you don't feel safe eating the food, please donate it!

Did you know 1 in 6 people in the United States are faced with hunger? It could be your hard working neighbor, your senior parents, or your own children facing hunger issues.
