For our November Community Outreach project, we are once again holding a food drive to support The Friendly Kitchen in Concord. This great organization has been feeding hungry people in New Hampshire for more than 40 years. We are encouraging patients and caregivers to donate non-perishable food items at both dispensaries between Nov. 1 and Nov. 23.
To incentivize participation in our food drive, we will enter you into a raffle for every 5 non-perishable food items donated. Winners will receive store credit: $250 for 1st prize, $150 for 2nd prize, and $100 for 3rd prize. Each dispensary will hold its own raffle. There is no limit on the number of raffle entries, so please feel free to donate as many times as you wish!
If you’re not sure what items are best to donate, here’s a list of suggestions supplied by The Friendly Kitchen:
- Powdered Fruit Punch Kool-Aid
- Coffee
- Other Powdered drink mixes or juice boxes
- Pastas: elbows, rigatoni
- Pasta/spaghetti sauces
- Canned vegetables
- Beef Broth
- Chicken Broth
- Gravy mixes (beef, turkey, chicken)
- Condiments
- Seasonings
- Olive oil
- Baked beans
- Canned kidney beans, black beans
