do a small food drive yourself. Find a nearby agency (mine is a church's soup kitchen) and offer to collect/deliver the items. Be sure to call the agency ahead of time, they often have preferences. It's not much to ask folks to pick up a couple more cans of tuna, pasta and pasta sauce, canned soups, cereal, etc and bring it in.

I did this in my tiny agency last Xmas and we had several bags full of nonperishable groceries collected!

Of course, food banks often like cash better, which is great. But some donors like the hands on approach of giving foodstuff itself.
