Better to give food or money a donation question

HACAP and The Crisis Center of Johnson County say both money and food donations help. Monetary gifts stretch dollars while food donations aid immediate needs, though purchases require time. Healthy staples include canned tuna, low-sodium soups, 100 percent juice, whole grain crackers, cereals, whole wheat pasta, canned fruit, vegetables, and pasta sauce. Contact hours and locations vary.
