Items that are needed right now are: canned tomatoes, canned fruit, jam, 1 litre size of juice, boxed cereal, canned ham, tuna, or salmon. Extras: sidekicks, toothpaste/toothbrush, bar soap, re-usable grocery bags. Items can be left in the box just outside the choir room. If you can help put the bags together, please speak with Loy Sanderson or Sharon Hunter.
