Food Wish List:
Only donate unopened items, please!
7.24.2026
When donating, consider 12 or 24 (case size) or multiples of any one item rather than an assortment. This allows us to include it on our "shopping list." (Most grocery stores have "lost leader" sales at low prices. It's a great way to find items to donate!)
Whether 1 or 48, every item you donate will find a good home! We use the oddball items for our food basket lines, where clients can choose from a selection, while we fill their shopping lists from foods we have in quantity.
