I'd like to take this opportunity to ask that anyone intending to donate
to a food bank please consider adding some sort of meat product. I tend
to toss in a canned "ham" or two, as that's the easiest canned protein
to find in the stores around here, and it goes well with the beans and
rice that food banks always seem to have.
It just bothers me to think of somebody going hungry, y'know?
Call it a quirk.

I always do. We usually do canned/pouches of chicken and tuna. Don't see
too many canned hams around here. I've gotten them somewhere but can't
remember where. Daughter said they were yucky though so I tend not to buy
things that don't taste good. I don't like any kind of ham so I wouldn't be
a good judge.

Both of my kids' schools have regular food drives and so do the local
Boy Scout troops. My usual donation is a case of canned tuna or canned
chicken picked up at Costco.
