Nov 1st thru Dec 20th
Benefiting Carmichael Homeless Families with School Age Kids
Items should be new, unopened, and in original packaging. No large bulk or expired items, and Non-
Perishable Items only please.
We will also accept cash, checks payable to San Juan Unified School District, and grocery gift card
donations.
- Canned meats: Think beyond tuna & soup, which food banks get tons of. Instead, go for canned beef,
canned ham, canned chicken, canned salmon, sardines. - Hearty ready-to-go meals like beef stew and chili with meat, cooked rice, lentils.
- Canned vegetables: Everyone donates green beans. Instead, give potatoes, carrots, spinach, peas, or any
other veggies your family likes. - Canned fruit: Not pineapple. This is the most commonly donated fruit. Any other fruit, particularly those
in fruit juice without extra sugar, would be great. Dried fruit works too (raisins, cranberries, etc.) - Boxed meals THAT REQUIRE ONLY WATER.
