Top Ten Food Bank Needs — Prepare your Holiday Donation with Knowledge!
Last week, I told you about Unilever’s efforts to create a Sustainable Living Plan. As part of that effort, they have partnered with Feeding America to Cross Off Hunger. Feeding America(R) is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. $1=8 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local food banks. Unilever will donate $250,000. The monetary equivalent of a minimum of 2 million meals will be donated!
Here’s a list of the Top 10 Items that you can donate to your Local Food Bank
- 1. Non Perishable Grains
- 2. Spread
- 3. Instant Meals & Soups
- 4. Canned Vegetables & Fruit
- 5. Canned Protein
- 6. Personal Care
- 7. Baby Needs
- 8. Sauces and Gravies
- 9. Beverages
- 10. Your help and Time!
$24 will help Cross off Hunger this Holiday Season
I went shopping for the Top Ten Food Bank Needs at my local Walmart. My mission was to see how much it would cost to purchase at least one of the Top Ten Food Bank Needs and make all my readers aware of how little it takes to Cross off Hunger this holiday season. I feel like if you know the needs of your local food bank and their clients and you know the cost to help, then you will be able to equip yourself to Cross of Hunger along with Unilever and Feed America.
Unilever is committed to donating more than two million meals to families in need with Feeding America and every item on your shopping list counts. Show your support by adding Unilever brands to your cart next time you shop. Together we can help to Cross Off Hunger.
It was easy to find the items on the Top Ten Food Bank Needs. Each are basic items you probably already have in your pantry.
$24 out of your regular food budget is all it takes to purchase all of the items to fulfill the Top Ten Food Bank Needs.

Thank you so much for putting this info out for all of your readers! I believe that every little bit helps and we can all make a difference in the lives of those less formulate than us. I am proud to see such a giving and selfless post on one of my favorite blogs, just another reason why I love following you! Thank you!
Such a great list of what’s needed. I love. We donated some fresh produce in summer, but it was a special event
Non PErishable Grains are my top donation; I can get them for free for pennies and help feed those in need.I’m always unsure about beverages, glad to see I can donate the large fruit juices!
What a great way we as individuals can help those in need this Holiday Season. And thank you for sharing how large corporations are doing their part to help Cross off Hunger too.
Thanks for sharing this. I have pinned it and will be sharing on FB and twitter. But even more than that, I will go “shopping in my pantry” to see what I already have to help out (then fill in the “blanks”) and deliver to our food bank during the week.
I’m involved with a local food bank and there is a growing need wit the economy. I love most of these products listed. All of these brands are usually in my basket too.
Repinned. Thanks for writing about this.
I’m a big supporter of food banks–and right in keeping with the season. GREAT reminder.
Personal care items! I would never think to donate that, but it totally makes sense! Thanks for the great ideas, Shelley, and proof that you can donate without spending too much. $24 on name brand items is the same as making your own coffee instead of buying from Starbucks for 2 work weeks… which really isn’t all that bad.
Thank you for sharing the top ten, perfect timing too! And all so cheap. I need to get on this quick!
It’s so important to donate to your local food shelf!
