Donating Formula to Food Banks

With the government shutdown, I have heard that SNAP benefits may not go out on November 1st. I’ve been thinking about my early parenting days during the formula shortages in 2022 and how much anxiety I had about being able to find the specific type of formula my child needed. I know it’s not exactly the same, but worrying about your baby being fed properly is awful and I want to help.

Are there any food banks in the Spring area (or close) that could use formula? Would they prefer Ready to Feed (the liquid kind) or powder cans? Would it be best to just make a financial contribution?

I would prefer to give to secular food organizations but will also give to religious ones if secular is not an option.
