Any donation of goods or cash will be gratefully accepted. Here are a some suggestions:

• rolled oats and other breakfast cereals;

• tomatoes, sauces, soups, stews, and other canned goods;
• dry or canned beans and pulses;
• noodles, rice and other grains;
• cake mix and icing, canned fruit, honey;
• gluten-free foods and ready-to-eat foods;
