Those donating are asked to enter the parking lot off Locust Street, and to have donations ready to be removed from the back seat or trunk of the vehicle as donors drive through the lot.
Donations especially needed include: Canned tuna or chicken, spaghetti sauce or canned tomato products, pasta, rice, flour, sugar, salt, spices, salad dressings, cooking oils, gluten-free items, vegan or vegetarian items, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, feminine care products, and cleaning supplies.
