4) Please check expiration dates. All food items have a "use by" date on the box/can. Writing the expiration date (MM/YY) on the box with a sharpie helps (I need to check every item).
Thanks.

As a food bank volunteer , some tips on how to be most helpful during this challenging time (personal views only):
1) If you can, avoid calling or emailing. Food banks are overwhelmed and are often staffed by volunteers. Most have websites with FAQs.
2) Prioritize $ donations when feasible.

We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

Doesn't matter for them except slightly less thrifting
But this scenario will play hell with people w/ #Medicaid as work requirements are imposed.

My research was possible because of a career development grant from the NIH. The NIH directly and indirectly (via training grants) supported much of the work in this article.
The NIH supports basic science...and it supports research to make sure all of us can benefit from those discoveries.
