Info on how and what to donate
Ensuring your Donation Can Be Accepted
Please ensure that your non-perishable items have an expiration date at least a few weeks if not months from the donation date. This ensures that we can distribute the items without worrying about them expiring before they can be used. We also ask that you do not donate items that have been opened or used, as we cannot accept these items for health and safety reasons.
What to Donate
- FOOD & TOILETRY LIST (The following is our basic list we use every month. REGULAR sized items work best for packing food boxes and toiletry bags. We try to avoid GLASS jars. However, that is not always possible. Please CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE BEFORE YOU DONATE. We DO NOT give out open or expired items.)
