Alright, comrades. Homelessness and food insecurity are hella on the rise in America. Similar to my guns effort post, I have compiled a state-by-state resource for food banks, food pantries, homeless shelters, and soup kitchens. Please consider donating or volunteering at places within your own communities or surrounding communities. Now is the time to get some praxis in if you're able to.
Each state's FoodPantries.org, FreeFood.org, Homeless Shelter Directory, and Emergency Food Programs Directory links will provide a comprehensive list of each city's respective resources along with website links, hours, how to get involved, so on and so forth. Included are also links to each state's Feeding America page, which should show a list of food banks across your state. They should provide information on food drives, volunteering, and donating.
If you are searching for food banks please note that food banks are distribution hubs. They supply the food to the soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, etc. They in turn provide that food to the individuals that need it. Food banks do not directly serve individuals in need.

As they do not have websites setup for individual locations, please see the locations page of Food Not Bombs to find a location near you. Some of the information on this site may be a bit outdated, so poke around and double check. - Thanks @enki for the suggestion!

SHIT. HOL' UP. I'LL ADD STUFF. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO MY ATTENTION.
ty comrade <3
Added it after Wyoming! Thanks again!
This is a great resource! For DC I wanted to recommend the DC food not bombs chapter. I can definitely vouch for them being very active and a great group of people, at least as of a couple years ago (I had to move away from DC). They don't have a website, but here's the Food not Bombs map http://foodnotbombs.net/info/locations/.
Thanks for the suggestion! Since they don't have individual pages for each state, I ended up slapping the link in the body of the post under "General"! :)
No problem, thats great! I'd put a disclaimer though because I know some of the info on the map is out of date, and some of those chapters might be either dead or not that active. Also its horizontal organizing so each chapter is their own entity, just using the same name. DC was a really good group though and very welcoming, and the info on that map should be accurate, I can't vouch for every single food not bombs group though.
Added a little bit to the end, lol.
