Bring non-perishable food items to any local fire station or participating organization from Oct. 13 through Dec. 12. The organizations we've teamed up with will work with local food banks to distribute the food to local residents in need.

Here are some examples of the nutritious foods you can donate:

  • All pasta types
  • Canned fruits, stews, chilis, and soups
  • Canned tuna, salmon, and chicken
  • Canned vegetables
  • Coffee and tea
  • Diapers
  • Dried fruits
  • Fruit juice
  • Granola bars and trail mixes
  • Low-sugar/high-fiber cereals
  • Nut butters (peanut, almond, sunflower, etc.)
  • Oatmeal
  • Rice and beans
  • Salt, pepper, and other essential spices
  • Tomato and spaghetti sauces
  • Whole-grain crackers

While all donations are greatly appreciated, low-sodium, low-added sugar, and whole-grain options are preferred. Glass containers are not preferred.
