COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Toucan Tuesdays are back at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden.  Two people can get in for the price of one by bringing two cans of non-perishable food.

The donations go to the Harvest Hope Food Bank to help feed hungry families in the Midlands.

In 2010, zoo officials say they brought in more than 5,000 pounds of food which feeds almost 3,500 people.

Other two for one deals are also available when you bring a donation.
