Extreme Couponing Tip: Donating to a Food Bank

A good benefit of saving big during a store, scoring giveaway stuff, as well as having extra in your stockpile is pity with those less fortunate!

Before bringing your haul in, make certain to check a following:

Hours: Know when a food bank is open for donations as well as what a most appropriate time is to come.
Packaging: Only give unopened/sealed food. Ask about any wrapping restrictions.
Expiration dates: Make certain all food has not expired. Some banks need food to be during least 3 months away from a most appropriate buy date, so be certain to check with them for details.
Needs: While all excusable donations have been appreciated, scrutinise as to what a center needs most. It might be baby items, such as formula; canned foods; treats for kids; baking supplies; ethnic food; special legal holiday foods; etc.

To find a food bank near you, check out Feeding America. If you’re short upon time, most sites allow for a monetary donation, starting during just $1.00 (and taxdeductible). Even if we don’t have a resources yet, we can volunteer your time as well as help those in need!
