The Shine the Light on Hunger Food Drive has begun

There are food collection points at the corner of Rolling Road and East Greenway Drive North

and at the corner of Madison Ave and Ridgeway Drive beginning tomorrow

The best non-perishable foods to donate (remember a lot of our hungry are single folks so multi-packs of single serve items like fruits, applesauce, stews, meats, or pasta meals are very high in demand.)  Also note that the items in bold below are high in protein, very popular, and needed. 

canned beans, dry beans
peanut butter, or other nut butters
rolled oats, whole grain, low-sugar cold cereals
canned fruit in juice, not in light or heavy syrup, unsweetened apple sauce
canned vegetables, with no or low-sodium, canned tomatoes
low-sodium soups, broths
canned tuna and canned chicken and canned stews
brown rice, quinoa, whole grain or other pasta
nuts, or seeds unsalted
shelf stable milk and milk substitutes
low-sodium pasta sauce
popcorn kernels (not microwave popcorn)
