Because we serve approximately 300 people a week, we go through the following items rather quickly and therefore need them on an ongoing basis. Donations can be dropped off during our regular soup kitchen days, Tuesday and Friday, between 10 AM and 2 PM, or you can contact us to arrange another time.
