Different food pantries have different storage capabilities. Some accept "any and all non-perishable items". Some do not have rodent-proof, insect-proof or damp-proof storage. Cans are always safe, heat-sealed packages are usually safe - but consult with the pantry for their top needs if you plan to supply frequently.
Check the expiration date on the item, and don't be the kind of jackass who hands off expired, dented, damaged or bulging cans you wouldn't eat yourself to a food pantry.
