The most requested food pantry items include canned goods (vegetables, fruit, and proteins like tuna or chicken), pantry staples (pasta, rice, oats, beans), and personal hygiene products like soap and toothpaste. Other popular items are baby needs (diapers and formula), children's snacks, seasonings, and sometimes fresh items like milk, although fresh food is harder for food banks to store.
