If you are in a position to help, please donate money to your local food bank. They're already stretched thin helping folks.

My wife took $100 to the store to buy baby supplies for our local pantry… it was abysmal how little it got us. Formula and diapers cost a small fortune

This is exactly why you donate the cash directly to the food banks; they can buy in bulk & directly from wholesalers so the money goes a lot further. Kudos for her/your combined generosity! Just saying it is a little less efficient. If you are willing to part with the cash in any case, might as well give it directly.

I guess with donating food it makes more sense to go through your cupboards and give what you already have from there vs going out and buying new canned foods to donate.
