What We Collect

We accept healthy staples that are unopened and not expired. Items should be newly purchased and stored carefully. Please avoid glass jars.

Donations of smaller package sizes are preferred. For example, bags of beans, flour, sugar, etc., are most helpful in 1lb to 5lb packages, which are more easily sent home in our bags and boxes.

During the growing season, we accept donations of surplus crops from gardeners and farms.

Thank you so much for your donations and support!
