Where can I donate boxes of rice?

Question

I have about 6 boxes of rice sitting on my kitchen shelf. I would like to donate them to charity. Does anyone know of an organization that would pick them up, or where I can take them to? Most organizations only accept clothing, appliances and furniture. I am looking for one that accepts food. Please help.

I also found 47 packages of instant noodles and a box of tofu sauce mix to donate!

Answer 1

Your local food bank would gladly accept them all. You can find it by phone, internet or sometimes your local churches and grocery stores have a Food Bank box where you can leave your donation in. In Canada, at the Safeway they have a box and we can put our items there from home or add them to our grocery bill and leave it with the store.

Good for you! I admire your generosity!
