Food
Gatherers needs more food and funds to meet the increasing need
in our community.
Our food supplies
cannot keep up with the increasing requests from our partner agencies
on the front lines of hunger relief.
How can you help?
- Donate non-perishable canned
and dry goods that are unopened, in good condition and not expired.
Any item is appreciated, but we have many requests for high-protein
items, cereal, kid-friendly foods, baby formula, soups, stews,
canned meat/fish.
- Donate fresh produce (purchased
or from your own garden)
- Plant-A-Row
for the Hungry! (for more info - click
here)
- Donate unopened dairy products
that are within 3 days past the "sell by" date and
that have been kept at the proper temperature at all times
- Donate unopened frozen meat
products that have been frozen before their "sell by"
date and that are less than 4 months old (having been kept frozen
the whole time)
- No time to bring food? Food Gatherers
can purchase food with your monetary donation. For more info
