I would like to suggest those of use who can afford to consider adding a grocery item for our local food bank when we grocery shop.
All of the local grocery stores have a bin for the food bank adjacent to the check-out counters.
My husband put two items in the bin at one of the grocery stores recently.
We presumed there had just been a pick up, as the bin was empty.
However, we were in the same store two days later and noted that nothing at all had been added to the food bank bin.
That is what prompted me to write and ask your readers if adding something to their grocery lists for the food bank is something they would consider doing.
