One Grocery Bag of Food

If you'd like to donate food directly, that also will get you in. What do we mean by one grocery bag of food? That can be up to you, but here is an idea of what would like to see.


Types of Food to Donate:
  • Healthy non-perishable food
  • Items with intact, un-opened, consumer or commercial packaging
  • Items with non-breakable packaging (no glass please)
  • Food within the expiration date on the packaging

Most-Requested Items:
  • Canned meats like tuna, stew and chili (pop-tops preferred)
  • Canned vegetables
  • Pasta, pasta sauce
  • Beans
  • Rice
  • Healthy cereals
  • Peanut butter
  • Baby food
  • Baby formula
So, with the most-requested list in mind, I went out and filled up my paper grocery bag (pictured above) with one or more of those most-requested items.

Here is how I filled my bag:
  • 1 Box of Cereal
  • 1 Bag of Rice
  • 1 Bag of Noodles
  • 1 Peanut Butter
  • 1 Baby Food
  • 1 Can of Spaghetti Sauce
  • 2 Cans of Black Beans
  • 2 Cans of Green Beans
  • 2 Cans of Pork and Beans
  • 2 Cans of Mixed Vegetables
  • 2 Cans of Tuna
This can be used as a guideline for what we're expecting, though feel free to contribute whatever non-perishable food items you want.
