SUGGESTED ITEMSBeans Soup Tuna Canned Fruit (in juice or light syrup) Canned Veggies (no salt added or low sodium) Peanut Butter Pasta Pasta Sauce or Canned Tomatoes Macaroni and Cheese Rice GETTING STARTEDAs a food drive organizer, here’s a few steps to follow: Practice good hygiene and social distancing in the handling of the donated food. We suggest asking for food to be bagged and then handling the bags with gloves. Advertise your collection via email, NextDoor, Facebook, your neighborhood listserv – whatever works best for you. Let people know where and when they can donate. Then place clearly labeled boxes or bins in those locations. Set a deadline for collections and remind people when it’s approaching. This will help motivate people to submit their donations. Challenges are also useful – offer a goal of a certain number of items, participants or pounds collected. Take a picture! (if you want) We love to see the faces that help make all of this possible. Drop-off your collections. Complete this Donation Form to get drop-off instructions. And thank you!
