Preferred Food Donation
Please donate commercially packaged, unopened food with a clearly printed expiration/best-by date.
Our Community Cure food boxes are outdoors, and we prioritize foods that can safely handle changing temperatures.
Trail mix
Great option because it can combine nuts, seeds, dried fruit and sometimes whole grains.
Jerky
Excellent protein, very portable, and commercially produced jerky is shelf-stable.
Extremely calorie- and nutrient-dense, don't require refrigeration, and pair with crackers or fruit.
Peanut/sunflower butter packets
Nuts & seeds
Dried/freeze-dried fruit
Add water food packets i.e. Ramen/Oatmeal
One of the best ways to provide protein, healthy fats, calories and micronutrients in a tiny package.
Easy to eat, doesn't require preparation, and provides a much better nutritional option than candy or chips.
Easy to prepare with hot water and provides a warm, filling meal when a kitchen isn't available. Choose options with whole grains, added protein, vegetables, or lower sodium when possible.
