Cans with pop-tops are helpful for clients who are homeless or have other special needs.

Foods such as no-salt vegetables, fruit packed in its own juice, and other "light" items are needed for clients who are diabetic or have other special dietary requirements.

The Food Bank is a community effort to feed those who might otherwise go hungry. Thank you for being a part of that effort.
