True story. We all need food to live (I am glad that I got that obvious statement out of the way). The fact is not everyone has that luxury. Luckily, you have local food banks out there to help those who need them. However, do you know what your local food bank needs most? If you said food, that's not really the case. Here is a quote from Westside Food Bank Chief Development Officer, Genevieve Riutort on food drives and donating food in general:
"Canned food drives don't suck, but they are not the most efficient way to give" .... "The truth is the best way to help a food bank is to donate money because we buy food on a wholesale level and we work with farmers so we can take the dollar you might spend on a single can of beans and turn it into exponentially more food."

Hey, thanks for using your space to promote food banks. If you use Amazon or Humble Bundle (and maybe other sites?), you can get them to donate a portion of proceeds from your purchases to food banks. Perhaps not your most local one, because that depends on whether you can find them on a big list, but they can ask to be on the list if they're not. Also, some grocery stores' loyalty cards (at least in the USA, for example Kroger) can be set to trigger donations as well. And that's pretty cool.
