They are many things you do to help others. One of those are food drives. Food drives not only help people’s hunger but also help your community. Certain Food Drives give out different types of food.   

What type of food do food drives give out? Food drives usually give out things such as whole grain breakfast cereals, canned or dried beans, shelf-stable milk, and peanut butter. These are just some things they give out; some will give out different types of food probably depending on what food drive you go to.
