Gov. Greg Abbott wants to put a tighter lid on how fast property values can rise in a bid to deliver property tax relief to homeowners and businesses.
But tax policy experts warn the proposal would lead to higher housing costs and tax benefits flowing disproportionately to wealthy homeowners.

THIS. I volunteered at our local bank once, discovered with cash they bought bulk mixes of lentils, drink powders, formula, soup mixes, etc. Then volunteers packed them in servings, and they went out for the community.
RE: Food bank donations. Cash is by far the best thing you can give. Don't bother buying a bunch of stuff to donate, the food bank can buy much more for less.
HOWEVER If you clean your pantry and find a bunch of unexpired food that you know you won't use, donate them.
