FOOD DRIVE — We’re excited to be hosting our annual food drive to support of the Open Cupboard Emergency Food Shelf in Oakdale. Dancers are encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items and drop them off near the front desk from November 3rd to 15th. Together, we can make a difference in our community! Below is a list of suggested items that will greatly help those in need this season.
A financial donation to Open Cupboard is another option and it provides the greatest leverage on your contribution. They are fortunate to partner with a number of organizations in the community from which they purchase food in bulk at a discounted price. Because of this partnership, 'a dollar in our hands can stretch as much as ten times farther than that of a normal consumer". Your $10 donation can be used to provide approximately 100 pounds of food. Monetary donations can be for any amount and can be paid by cash or check to Open Cupboard.
Items the food shelf is requesting–
· Meats, fish, and protein: canned tuna, ham or chicken, beef stew,
chili, peanut butter, canned/dried beans
· Fruits and vegetables: 100% fruit juice, canned fruits and vegetables,
instant potatoes, fruit preserves
· Complete meals: pasta & sauce, boxed meals, hearty soups
With your help, our Food Drive will be a HUGE success!!
