The following is a list of food items that are most needed right now:
- pasta
- pasta sauce
- pancake mix
- oatmeal
- mac & cheese
- crackers
- cereal
- peanut butter
- canned goods: meats, beans, soups, fruits and vegetables.
Personal care items are also needed:
- hand soap
- body wash/bar soap

- ethnic hair care products
- menstrual products
- diapers (all sizes)
