Because we provide clients with pre-packed bags of nonperishable foods, we have to limit the weight and size of food items. Therefore, we ask for regular size food items instead of large or family size items or multi-pound items. And we cannot put glass jars in the bags of food.
We greatly appreciate all donations,
including grocery store gift cards!
