ALAG Food Drive for West Valley Community Services

If you even occasionally watch the evening news, you are well aware of quickly rising unemployment rates in the Bay Area. Whether out of work temporarily, or long-term, many in our community are not receiving a paycheck. Obviously this makes it difficult to provide even the basics for their families. Meanwhile others still have means to help those in need.

ALAG is partnering with West Valley Community Services to help restock their food pantry. The following items are most in need:

Canned Tuna, Salmon, or Chicken
Peanut Butter
Meals in a Can (soup, chili, stew)
Low-Sodium Canned Vegetables
Canned Fruit (no added sugar)
Canned Foods (with pop-top lids)
Low-Sugar/Whole Grain Cereals
Healthy Snacks (granola bars, nuts, dried fruit)
Shelf-Stable Milk and Milk Alternatives

***Please no candy, sugar-sweetened drinks, or items packed in glass***

In keeping with current social distancing restrictions, we have placed food collection barrels in front of the doors to the sanctuary. It’s a simple, safe, no contact process that will go a long way in easing the struggle for many in our community. You can drop off non-perishable, prepackaged food items between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, starting April 13th.
