Children represent nearly 50 percent of the individuals served by Hunger Task Force programs! Be sure to donate healthy and nutritious food items that families would want in their cupboards. Check your donation to be sure it's not expired, damaged, unlabelled or opened. With preferred food items, food pantries can provide adequate emergency food to a family for 2-3 days. Children, the elderly and the ill are less likely to suffer from under-nutrition or malnutrition when they receive a diet of preferred food items.
