When it comes to money, I do understand that food banks might have an edge on ordering bulk on volume meaning cheaper prices. But at the same time, I personally hesitate on one small point - the fact that not every dollar will get food. I usually look at a charity's efficiency rating on sites like: <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/" rel="nofollow">Charity Navigator/</a> who rate how of every dollar goes towards the cause after admin costs.

They can do more with it than a normal consumer can because they get special deals. Actually, you should just give the money to the food banks.
