Food that is collected will be donated to food banks, including Lady of Charity at St. Hugo’s and several others.

The most-requested items for donation include cereal, peanut butter, canned pasta, crackers, boxed meals such as Hamburger Helper, and toiletries. All nonperishable foods will be gladly accepted, however.
