HOW CAN YOU HELP?

When you grocery shop, pick up a few of these extra food items and drop them off at the Community Cupboard.  And when you're sifting through your house, during a spring cleaning session or when you're simply trying to tidy up, keep your eye out for some of the thrift store items listed here.
