Bringing food to a show? Rock on! 

Remember, 
NON-PERISHABLE, NON-GLASS
 items only!

MOST CRITICALLY NEEDED ITEMS:

Proteins
Canned meats such as tuna, chicken or fish are high in protein and low in saturated fat. 
Peanut butter is rich in protein and high in monounsaturated 
and polyunsaturated oils, the "good fats." 
These are among the most expensive foods -- 
too expensive for food banks to buy large quantities.

Soups and stews
They are filling, particularly the "chunky" soups, and contain liquid for hydration. 
In addition, soups can be filled with protein and vegetables.

Rice and pasta
Pantry staples.

Cereal, including oatmeal
Breakfast cereals can be an additional source of protein, 
and most cereals today include a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Canned vegetables, including tomatoes and tomato sauce

Canned or dried beans and peas
Beans are a low-fat source of protein and fiber.

Canned fruits

Fruit juice (canned, plastic or boxed)
Make sure it's 100% juice.

Prepared box mixes such as macaroni and cheese or Hamburger Helper.

Shelf-stable milk
This includes dehydrated milk, canned evaporated milk and instant breakfasts.
