Suggested Monthly Shopping List

Please use this list as the basic monthly list for each month for “Give Where You Live.”

(This list is NOT for “cyber” sponsors who make a monthly monetary donation for their sponsored families.)

Please remember do not send glass jars, fresh food, or bread in your monthly boxes. While they are a wonderful idea, the jars break and the food often spoils before delivery. Due to breakage, we are no longer sending household cleaning products (plastic or glass) or any aerosol cans in the deliveries. And please, no syrup.
