If you've been meaning to give to a food drive, Sunday is a good one to pick. Gibson's Custom Meats in Lacey will match every community essential pack bought for donation at its "Pay It Forward" event, marking the program's first year.

Each pack is 5 pounds of staple proteins. The shop recently raised its price because of rising wholesale meat costs.
