Please consider putting together, purchasing items for, or sponsoring a Shelf-Stable Food Bag. Containers must be pop-top or easy tear-open for our recipients. (No cans that require a can-opener, please.)
One bag includes:
- 4 - Protein based low sodium entrées (ex. pop-top cans, packets or easy open containers of tuna fish, shredded chicken, chicken-noodle soup, beef stew, shelf-stable meal, vienna sausages, beanie weenies, black or pinto beans, etc.
- 2-3 Sides: cooked rice, canned potatoes, canned vegetables (corn, peas, green beans).
- Small jar of creamy peanut butter (16 oz or smaller) or individual cups. Larger jars while more economical are too heavy and too difficult to maneuver.
- Small jar of jam (no seeds)
- Sliced bread (please be aware of sell by date) or box of crackers (saltine/ritz, etc)
- 2-3 Soft granola or cereal bars, low sugar (ex. Nutrigrain bars)

- 2-3 Individual fruit cups packed in their own juice (no added sugar)
- 2-3 Individual packets of oatmeal and/or grits (low sugar/sodium)
