What We Give

Fruits and Vegetables

We serve fresh and canned fruits and vegetables depending on season and availability.  Sometimes we even have demonstrations on how to prepare unique items.

Heat and Eat

These are primarily canned foods that can be "heated and eaten." Canned soups, canned pastas, canned legumes, etc.  

Pasta and Rice

All kinds of pasta and rice are popular, including flavored packets. And, of course, good ol' mac and cheese. 

Cereal

Both cold and hot. We try to stick to the healthy stuff, but some of that sugary deliciousness sneaks in once in a while. Oatmeal, ready-to-eat cereal,  and even pancake mix.

Bread and Bagels

We get bread and bagels donated each week from local businesses. We slice them and package them so our clients can eat them easily. 

Potatoes

Potatoes are another one of our staples. 

Meat

We receive frozen meats from local grocery stores.  Venison, donated through Hunters Share the Harvest, and processed by Stine Custom Butchering, is also popular.  Following the Bloomsburg Fair, we may receive donations of meat from 4-H animals. Families can receive meat once a month.

Eggs

Each month, a family may get a dozen eggs, purchased from a local poultry operation.

Peanut Butter

Also available once a month, peanut butter is chosen by many families.  Much of the peanut butter we give is collected during the Bloomsburg Rotary's annual peanut butter drive in February.

Fish, canned tuna and spaghetti sauce

We offer a choice of frozen fish, canned tuna and meats and spaghetti sauce as an option for families.

Other

 We have a section of the line that changes week to week. This includes miscellaneous items such as condiments, baking products, crackers, and more.
