I've been asked to donate canned goods to a center that gives food to those in need. I know this may sound stupid, but should I get cans of food that would be more filling, or get foods most people probably won't get like pineapple chunks, fruit cocktale, etc? Normally this is not an issue but since funds are tighter this year I have to make smaller & better choices. I guess I could always get a mix. What are your thoughts?

I always try to get foods that will feed at least 3 people. Last fall I was able to get large cans of sweet potatoes, a large can of tuna...large can of spagetti sauce, and a box of spagetti...a big box of oatmeal is also a good filling item.
Just remember that when you pick out things, that you don't want things that call for extra ingredients...like a cake mix...it needs oil and eggs.
