Winter holiday giving often ends in January, even though January holidays remain for Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims. Food insecurity continues year-round, and nonprofit food organizations commonly see donations drop at the start of the year. Organizations primarily need cash, which allows bulk purchasing, plus hands-on volunteers for sorting, packing and distribution. They also accept sealed, labeled shelf-stable foods, canned proteins and healthy snacks when households clean out pantries. Local Bay Area organizations accepting donations, volunteers, stock or cryptocurrency include Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Alameda County Community Food Bank, Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, and Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa County with multiple dining rooms and a mobile unit.
