Items Needed
Warehouse management is one of the most challenging tasks in our operation. Between handling an influx of items after a food-drive, keeping a minimum stock and responding to emergency situations, we sometimes fall short on some high-in-demand items. Every Wednesday, we post the top most-needed items on our Facebook page #whatsneededwednesday.
Urgently Needed Items
-
Long grain rice (brown or white)
-
Canned Fish
-
Jam / Honey
-
Fruit Snacks for Children
-
Juice (1 litre or snack size tetrapaks)

The items we accept as donations vary from cash, over pet food, personal hygiene items to all kinds of food.
