Publix: Best Ways to Donate This Week for Free or Pocket Change!

I have a lot of folks ask me about items that can be donated to local charities like food banks, etc. A lot of us (including myself at one time) assume only non-perishable foods could be donated. However, each place is different. You have noticed from the blog that "Clipping for a Cause" supports several different charities..each with their own individual needs. What this means is that we need everything from toilet paper, to frozen veggies to personal hygiene items to spaghetti noodles! Nothing is off limits! Here are the best ways to donate to your local charities for free or pocket change this week! Thanks to "I Heart Publix" for the suggestions!
