Place: 5164 N Fairway Spring Drive
This year is a our 15th year sponsoring a food drive for the benefit of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. With your help, Sabino Springs can make a difference for many needy families, seniors and children. We, who have so much to be thankful for, can change lives by building a healthy, hunger-free community.
Donated food must be non-perishable. Consider foods that can contribute to a healthy meal, instead of snacks or desserts, such as the following items:
- Canned chicken or fish in water
- Dry or canned beans
- Peanut butter
- Canned vegetables
- Soups or stews
- Whole grain pasta
- Brown and wild rice
- Oatmeal
- High fiber breakfast cereals
- Canned fruit in water or juice instead of syrup
- Unsalted almonds
- Dried fruit
- Natural applesauce
- 100% juice
Other considerations:
- Look for items labeled low sodium, low fat, no added salt, no added sugar, high fiber, or whole grain.
- Please be sure not to donate food in rusted, dented, or leaking containers.
- All food items must include the product name. No unidentifiable bags or cans can be used.
- Non-perishable food in plastic, cardboard or cans works best for transporting. Glass can easily be broken.
- Perishable items cannot be accepted due to FDA regulations on temperature control.
- Home-made items such as canned jams and sauces cannot be accepted.
Additional volunteers are welcome.
