• Adopt a Food Shelf. Connect with your local pantry about what supplies you can provide on an ongoing basis. Schedule bi-weekly or monthly shopping visits & deliveries.

• Get your neighbors involved. Drop a note in your neighbors' mailboxes asking them to leave non-perishable food items on their doorstep on a certain date. Pick up & deliver the items to your food shelf.

• Donate. Make a donation to Feeding America, the country's largest domestic hunger-relief organization. It reaches over 40 million people in need of food every year.
