Give Back this 'Giving Tuesday'
'Giving Tuesday' is all about helping others. The Food Bank always needs additional supplies of shelf-stable food, and the holiday season is an excellent opportunity to donate.
As the people at Giving Tuesday say, “We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals….Wouldn’t it be great to have a day for giving back?”
#GivingTuesday is all about turning our attention toward helping others.
This year #GivingTuesday is on Tuesday, November 27th and nonprofits, businesses and supporters from all over the world will take part. It’s about all of us trying to make the world a better place.

Safeway offers shoppers a $10 bag of food items for purchase. You can buy these $10 bags and drop them in the Food Bank barrels.
CBS5 is partnering with Whole Foods Market for their holiday food drive. Customers have the option to buy a $5 Breakfast, $10 Lunch or Dinner, or $25 Full Day Meal for donation at the register. (Meals typically feed a family of four.) Customers may also round out an order and donate any dollar amount.
In addition, the Food Bank asks people to bring other food donations to these conveniently located collection sites.
