How to help
Most commonly asked for items:
- Toiletries like dish/hand soap, toilet paper, toothpaste
- Feminine hygiene products
- Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables
- Cooking oil
- Condiments
We regularly get shipments of canned goods from our partner at the Greenwood Food Bank, and since they are shelf stable there's no problem getting more. But we also strive to have our students maintain a balanced diet including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy non-perishable goods.
