Morrow County Emergency Management director Casey Beard praised the efforts of Tips offered on food bank donations Many Oregonians need emergency food assistance to ward off hunger when money is short. Many food banks and pantries welcome food donations from the public. Before giving, check to find out what type of foods are needed, advises Carol Michael, Oregon State University Extension home economist in Morrow and Umatilla counties. Give foods that are the quality that you yourself would eat. Don't use food banks as a "dumping ground" for inferior products that may be unsafe or inedible. If you're donating canned foods, examine them first for potential food safety problems. Tin cans shouldn't be swollen, rusted or leaking. There shouldn't be dents on seams or where sides and ends meet. If you’ve stored the cans for more that one year (particularly if the storage area was warm), the quality (such as color, nutritive value) may not be as good. If cans have been through a flood or fire, it's probably advisable to discard them. Packaged foods should be intact and sealed.

If the frozen turkey in your freezer is something that you wouldn't eat because of freezer bum or long term storage, why expect someone else to eat it? Frozen food that has at some point thawed to room temperature may not be safe to eat. If the food hasn't been packaged in freezer paper bags, the quality may be poor. If there's any question about the safety of quality of a food you're thinking about donating, throw it out. Foodbome illness is a hardship for people on limited incomes who may not have health insurance. Oregon Department of Energy officials in providing the equipment.
