Why Food Pantries like Open Hands need Cash Donations rather than Food Drives
Q: I'd like to do something for Open Hands Food Pantry for the holidays? What do you need most? Can we do a food drive?
A: Like many food pantries, Open Hands' distribution model gives everyone the same food package by family size. We no longer take food drives, because it leaves us with an assortment of food (some of which is expired or dented), and it requires more sorting and packaging than we can accomplish. Open Hands uses cash donations to purchase food at Gleaners Food Bank for cents on the dollar. This stretches your dollars much further. When you donate a dollar, you're able to put more meals on the tables of families than if you donated food you'd purchased at the store. So, if you would like to donate to Open Hands Food Pantry during the holidays (and we really appreciate your donations!) please consider a cash donation. You can mail checks to:
Open Hands Food Pantry 26998 Woodward Ave, Royal Oak MI 48067
or give online at https://openhandspantry.org/give-1
Thank you.

We have seen higher numbers than usual lately. This means an increased need for volunteers. If you haven’t volunteered lately, can you spare a couple hours?
