Food pantries are in need and love to receive healthy foods such as whole grains, low-fat or no-fat powdered or boxed milk, lean meats like canned tuna, chicken or salmon. And, of course, fruits and vegetables in any form. Even when simply packaged without added sugars or in 100% juice.

View shopping list of suggested healthy food link didn’t work. I appreciated the article and would like to do a better job of selecting healthy foods for donations.
Hi Lori, Thanks for letting us know. We fixed the link to the new page (our SH.org website is new, so some old links are no good). This is the new page: https://www.spectrumhealth.org/healthier-communities/our-programs/healthy-food-donations and, from there, you can download a PDF of the shopping list. I’ll also email you separately to make sure you get the list. Thanks again for being a Health Beat reader!
