One hour of being able to cook in the midst of a 12+ hour blackout can make a world of difference to hungry people.

There are plenty of meals that don't require electricity:

• Salads & fruits
• Tuna sandwiches
• Deli sandwiches
• Shrimp dishes
• Peanut butter & jelly
• Cakes, pies, pastries, breads
• Pickled/smoked meats
• Potato chips, popcorn, nuts

Meals can also be cooked on a portable grill.
