Reminders

  • JC Imports and Exports in Union City will handle the distribution of gently used clothing through their program in Mexico. They will accept all types of clothing. Please keep them separate from food when you drop them off at Holy Spirit Church on Saturday, 11/13/21.
  • Please separate glass and fragile items.
  • Please pre-count cans before arriving. If you haven’t, you will be asked to get out of line and count.
  • You do not have to worry about expiration dates. The Food Bank has special rules and will do that for us.
  • Be prepared to take back and recycle any boxes and/or bags.
  • Cash and checks are welcomed. The food bank can do a lot more with the cash than with actual food donations, so don’t purchase goods with it. They have greater buying power and will use it to fill in the items they need.
