Let’s be honest - while bad for the environment we all have some hanging around. Plastic bags.

Many food banks use plastic bags when providing meals to those in need. Many states are enacting plastic bag bans and while good for 🌎, food banks have suffered. They're being forced to pay more for once-affordable single-use bags to package food for distribution. Bags made with alternative materials, like paper are not durable enough and often rip, which creates more problems for those receiving donations.

It's a simple act you can take to help - if you have spare plastic bags at home that you stored up (like me), consider donating them to a local food bank. And, if you need help finding local food banks in your area 👉 https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank
