I've actually dealt with exactly this. Say you operate a small farm and you have a bumper crop of greens. More than you can move. You call a food pantry and say hey, come pick up these greens or....if not that, when can I deliver them to you? You can't. They're not equipped. The food bank will refuse the product. So maybe you pay to put out an ad (or just tell people, word of mouth) that everything on your farm is free to whomever can come get it. Except, no, you can't, because all of that excess foot traffic tends to leave a mess ..damage the fields.....and, for some operations, might even decertify you. If, however, you mean that you personally don't have cash to spend but you do have a can of peas - that's yet another issue I have personally encountered. That's why cans of peas are like tribbles at food pantries.
Nevertheless, somebody bought those cans of peas and the money it took to purchase them would go further to feeding hungry people than they do. Sell them. Have a big drive where you sell the damned peas..and disburse that money. This issue repeats itself across the entire operation. Say someone donated a building for you to operate a food pantry? What you should do is rent out that building and disburse that money.
(I did manage to con them into taking a whole short truck packed top to bottom once, but it all rotted)
