DONATE FOOD OR IN-KIND SUPPLIES, AND HELP THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY

While River City Food Bank purchases some important sources of good nutrition such as protein, donated food is what enables our volunteers to feed so many people on so little money.

With recent jumps in the unit cost of bulk food supplies, donations are more important than ever.

Here are ways that you can get involved:

• Purchase and donate $25 gift cards from area grocery stores
• Organize a food drive
• Talk to a local grocer about allowing you to collect food, and give people entering the store a “shopping list” for donations that they can give you upon exit
• Grow and donate fresh produce (tomatoes, squash, corn, fruits)
• Collect personal toiletries – small and family size – such as hand soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, toothbrushes and dental floss

We almost always need:

• Tuna (6 oz.)
• Peanut butter (18 oz)
• Pork & beans (14 oz.)
• Hearty soups (10 oz.)
• Canned tomatoes (14 oz.)
• Canned fruit (14 oz.)
• Macaroni and cheese packages
• Diapers, formula and baby food
• Link to list of food and baby items [link to Weekly Sales] currently on sale at area grocers, drug stores, etc.
