Food Shelf Stock

Save to Favorites

Many people living in our affordable-housing units have a tough time meeting all of their basic needs. Sometimes they are forced to decide between paying for rent, food, or medical costs. By stocking our small emergency food shelves, you are giving our residents a crucial source of nutrition and comfort when money runs short. We need healthy, nonperishable food items such as:

• Canned meals (ravioli, chili, pork and beans, chow Mein)
• Meats, fish and protein - canned tuna, ham or chicken, beef stew, chili, peanut butter, canned/dried beans
• Hearty soups and stews
• Fruits & Vegetables - 100% fruit juice, canned fruits and vegetables, instant potatoes
• Complete Meals - pasta & canned sauce, boxed meals, hearty soups
• Grains - cereal, rice
• Microwaveable instant oatmeal
• Pancake mix (mix-with-water) and syrup
• Instant macaroni and cheese that does not require butter and milk
• Special diet foods - gluten-free, low-sugar, low-sodium
• Cleaning supplies* - laundry detergent, paper towels, kitchen and bathroom cleaners

For food safety reasons, personal care items and cleaning supplies need to be kept separate from food items.

To make room for more healthy food on our shelves, we do not accept donations of candy or soda.
