3. How to Store Food Safely
Canned Foods: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid cans that are bulging, leaking, or rusted. Use older cans first.
Canned Fruits & Vegetables: Store unopened cans up to 1–2 years. Once opened, refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and use within 3–4 days.
Frozen Foods: Keep the freezer at 0°F or below. Label items with the date frozen and use within a few months for best quality.
Tip: Rotate stock — place newer items behind older ones and use the oldest first.
4. Smart Shopping on a Budget
Plan meals before shopping and make a list to stay on track.
Choose store brands over name brands — they often cost less.
Buy in bulk for pantry staples when sales occur.
Use frozen or canned produce for lower-cost, long-lasting nutrition.
Look for store coupons, loyalty discounts, and weekly sales.
Encourage families to cook in batches and freeze extra portions.
5. Encourage Family Support and Resource Sharing
Post pantry maps and benefit information on your bulletin board or in newsletters.
Collaborate with nearby food banks to host small food drives or drop-off points.
Share easy, low-cost meal ideas with parents (for example: canned beans + frozen vegetables + rice = simple, healthy meal).
Families can access general resources through www.findhelpga.org or by going to www.211.org
We know November can bring extra financial challenges. Please share these resources widely to help ensure that all Georgia families have access to nutritious meals this season.
