🥫 Where to donate food in Florida
Shelf-stable food goes to local food pantries and the regional food banks that supply them in your area.
Before you go
- Peanut butter, canned meat and canned fruit are always needed.
- Check expiration dates; pantries can't hand out expired food.
- A food drive at church, school or work goes a long way.
