Vallarta Food Bank (Brazils on Tour)

Here are some ways you can help assist the area food banks in Puerto Vallarta:

• Donate food or money. This is the most obvious way to help. Food banks are always in need of donations, especially of non-perishable items like canned food, pasta, rice, and peanut butter. You can also donate money, which will help the food bank purchase the food they need.
• Volunteer your time. Food banks need volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, such as sorting food, packing boxes, and serving meals. If you have some free time, consider volunteering at your local food bank.
• Spread the word. Let your friends, family, and neighbors know about the need for food banks in Puerto Vallarta. Encourage them to donate food or money, or to volunteer their time.
• Shop at participating retailers. Some retailers partner with food banks to collect donations at checkout. When you shop at these retailers, you can help support the food bank without even having to lift a finger.
