Check here for items that the Soup Kitchen needs. This will be updated as our needs change during the year. All donations are greatly appreciated!
SPECIAL NOTE: In January, we were notified that Big Lots would be closing. This was a very large hit to our sack lunch program, as a good amount of items that go into our sack lunches were provided by Big Lots. In the same week, we also learned that one of the missions that we worked with would be retiring and closing up shop. They were our main bread source.
Since then, we have been searching for ways to build back up the items that we would be losing. But since sack lunches are something we send out every Friday, and we are sending out nearly 100 lunches every week, our stash takes a big hit every week.
