Turns out February has a whole lot more national holiday designations than Black history, American heart and cancer prevention month. This is also the month for canned food.

Of course, you can enjoy canned food with friends and family, but sharing it with those outside your circle is another option. This month, why not donate canned food to some local shelters, pantries and food drives?

Typically, schools, churches and community centers have canned food drives or a food pantry that the public can donate to at least once a month. In Lake Highlands, those options include Feed Lake Highlands and Highland Oaks Church.

There are also food bank trucks that accept donations, like North Texas Food Bank and Reverse Food Truck which is part of NorthPark Presbyterian Church,

So, if you were wondering how to switch up your participation in National Canned Food Month, now you have some ideas.
