Food supplies are critically low and Second Harvest Food Bank
has an immediate need for non-perishable items such as canned
fruits and vegetables, tuna, soups, stews, chili, beans, rice,
pasta, cereals, juices and shelf stable milk among other items.
Cleaning supplies such as bleach are also needed. Food and
cleaning supplies can be donated at either your neighborhood
Rouses Supermarkets or at our Elmwood warehouse located at
700 Edwards Avenue.
