All donations of any non-perishable items are accepted, but please see the list below of the most needed items.

• pasta
• Chef Boyaredee
• baked beans, kidney beans, black beans, garbanzo beans
• soups - tomato, vegetable,
• Progresso soups (chunky)
• canned mixed veggies, spinach, or beets
• tuna
• instant mashed potatoes
• Hamburger Helper
• gravy
• cereal of any kind
• oatmeal

We will collect items up until the morning of Monday, November 25th. Please consider supporting families in our community. Thank you!

Megan dos Santos
