In honor of Thanksgiving, give to your local food bank today

Andrew Norton

Things are tough all over and in Michigan we've been feeling the pinch longer than the rest of the nation. It seems nearly every day I see a news blip about food banks having to turn folks away because they can't keep up with the demand. I'm asking that in honor of this being the season of Thanksgiving that everyone make a donation to their local food bank. Whether it's monetary or just a grocery sack of assorted food items - lets show everyone that the folks here in Michigan band together and help each other out. We will keep on donating 1% of every sale to the Food Bank Council of Michigan. They even let you donate online at their website www.fbcmich.org.

We already dropped off food at the local high school that is running a food drive. My next stop is the local library that is also collecting food donations and selling reusable grocery bags for $4 with $2 going to the local food bank.

If you are unsure of what types of food and other necessary items to donate here's a brief list to get you started.

  • Cereals
  • Canned Meats
  • Tuna
  • Rice
  • Peanut Butter
  • Beans, dried or canned
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned fruit and fruit juices
  • Corn meal
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Cooking oil
  • Soup, dried and canned
  • Jelly or jam
  • Canned or dried pasta
  • Detergents
  • Toilet paper
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste
  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner

When in doubt, just ask yourself what you would like to eat in an emergency.
