The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is holding its Fill the Foodbank! event this weekend.
This time, in addition to non-perishable food items, the Foodbank is asking for donations of new or gently used cookware.
According to the Foodbank, the Stamp Out Hunger Letter Carriers Food Drive would typically be held this weekend, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving the Foodbank with a gap of about 80,000 pounds of donated food.
Some of the biggest needs include nut butters, whole grain cereals and pasta, canned tomatoes and sauce, and canned protein like tuna.
