Grocery Gleaning 4/3- 4/13

Welcome to Week 2 of Grocery Gleaning posts. Our goal in these posts is to encourage you to give out of your “overage” to those in need. Highlighted are free and cheap items that are perfect for donation to local food banks and pantires. At the end you will find a Feeding America Widget to help you locate your nearest food bank. Also, for Central Ohio readers, check out how you can use these items for Mid Ohio Food Bank’s Operation Feed (March-June) Thanks to Saving in Akron for helping compile this list.
