Food Bag Donations

As I previously mentioned, I have just started volunteering with a ministry that helps pack weekend bags for low-income kids in dire need of sustenance over the weekend.  For winter break, they will be sending home larger bags for students who normally receive weekend bags from the ministry.  If you would like to help, you could either donate food from the list below or, if you’d like, you could build a bag of your own.  If you build a bag on your own, please use the canvas reusable totes as opposed to plastic grocery bags.    


You can drop items off at my house or I will be more than happy to pick items up from you!  I know it's last minute, but items for winter break bags are needed by Tuesday, 12/13.  Donations are welcomed and appreciated after that too of course!  


Winter Break Bags:


• 2 cans ravioli or canned pasta (pull top)
• 1 cup applesauce and 1 cup fruit (like peaches/pears/etc.)
• 1 can large size soup (pull top)
• 1 ramen noodle type soup
• 2+ granola bars
• 1 pkg. pop tarts
• 1 box raisins
• 2 packages instant oatmeal
• 2 individual servings of microwavable mac n cheese
• 1 individual sweet item (pudding, little debbie, crackers, cookies, etc)
• Jar of peanut butter
• Jelly in plastic jar
• Full size box of cereal instead of individual ones
• Regular size box of macaroni and cheese • Box of spaghetti noodles
• CAN (not glass jar) spaghetti sauce
If you choose to only donate items rather than fill your own bag, fruit cups, pop tarts, and 
raisins are the greatest needs right now to stock the food pantry.


Thanks so much!
