14. Thank you for the reminder to support local food banks

Supporting local food banks consistently means more people have a source when the fickle winds of government change. Yes they will take your can goods as long as the date is not too close, but even small monetary donations add up.

Even if you can't financially support, see if they need volunteers. For instance every week I go help fill boxes that will be taken to seniors in low income housing. Dental care items, soap, dish detergent, underarm, non-perishable food, even nightlight bulbs.

Durable medical equipment (canes, walkers, braces etc)
Nearly every hospital has an "equipment library" for people who need something on loan. Senior centers and Veterans groups too you can donate or request help.

Each state has different rules. Check with your pharmacy... they may be in the program in your state.
