Other good choices include pasta, pasta sauce, rice, beans, lentils, cereal, peanut butter, dried fruit, shelf stable milk, granola bars, and holiday foods. We could use hygiene supplies like soap, shampoo, deodorant and toothpaste. Or donate a gift card (Kroger or Grocery Outlet preferred). Any questions about the food drive or if you would like to help, please contact Andrea Bergan at thebergans@comcast.net. Thank you for your support!
