Food Bank Donations

We're once again collecting non-perishable food items for the Danville-Riverside Food Bank. Here are some suggestions as to items to bring to donate.
  • Raisins or other dried fruit
  • Laundry soap, bath/hand soap
  • Canned beef stew and/or chili
  • Canned meat such as Spam or chicken
  • Jello or pudding, including diet varieties
  • Canned pasta (spaghetti, ravioli, etc.)
  • Instant mashed potatoes
  • Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate
  • Cooking oil
  • Mayonnaise/Salad Dressing
  • Dry cereal and oatmeal
  • Baking and pancake mixes
  • Dry macaroni or noodles
  • Tomato products such as paste, diced, stewed, crushed
  • Sugar and sugar supplements

This list was edited from one on the State College Area Food Bank website. Their list said they had sufficient supplies of soup and canned tuna. The Danville-Riverside Food Bank is probably in the same situation.

We're looking into whether the Danville-Riverside Food Bank accepts gift cards.

Once again, if you can bring more donated food than the combined total of the DGS Presidents, we'll buy beer for you all day.
