Brown rice $2.50/14-ounce box (Instant)

Rice is a food staple that's eaten in mass quantities the world over. It's a win-win donation choice because rice falls under the category of "dirt cheap," and food banks appreciate products that are shelf-stable and can be prepared in bulk—especially when they're supplying soup kitchens. Brown rice is the best option, in terms of nutritional value.
