Shelbourne Community Kitchen Summer Stock Up Food Drive Campaign – Every summer, the Shelbourne Community Kitchen sees an increase in families accessing their food support services, but this is also a time when supplies of non-perishable food donations are at an all time low. With the current cost of food and inflation, we are registering an average of 50 new people each month. The Shelbourne Community Kitchen team invites you to participate in our 2024 Summer Stock Up Food Drive Campaign! The Kitchen's most needed items are:
Canned Fish and Meat
Peanut Butter
Canned Beans
Canned Fruit and Vegetables
Instant Meals
Pasta and Pasta Sauce
Granola Bars and Cereal
Juice and Herbal Tea
Rice, Oats, and Grains
Please continue to put these needed items in the basket in the church or the basket beside the office and we’ll deliver them to the Shelbourne Community Kitchen. See more information at the News page.
