Most needed items as of 26 August 2024 

We are open every day, year round and are serving more meals than ever before. If you have any time to come in and volunteer, we could really use your help!

Note: No added sodium/low sodium, no added sugar/low sugar/sugar free, and low fat/saturated fat food items of all kinds - healthier options are greatly appreciated by our guests with chronic health conditions. Allergen friendly options are also needed for those on restricted diets.

We have gotten many calls from families with school aged children in need of school supplies, lunchboxes, backpacks and funds for uniforms. If you are able to help kids get off on the right foot this year, we will make up school bags for them - all ages, all supplies welcome!
