There are roughly 19 million veterans in the United States, and despite their sacrifices, many veterans and tens of thousands of active-duty military families still worry about putting food on the table, including more than a quarter of veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We’re teaming up with Loaves and Fishes of Naperville to help veterans and their families by accepting donations of non-perishable food items, now through November 15.
The items that are most needed are:
- Canned tuna, salmon, or chicken
- No sugar-added canned fruit
- Ready-to-eat soups
- Dried fruit
- Spaghetti sauce
- Whole wheat pastas
- Instant and whole Oatmeal
- Whole grain cereals
- Rice, couscous, grains
- Corn muffin mix
- Canned tomatoes
You may also choose to donate personal care items such as:
- Toilet paper
- Toothpaste
- Shampoo
- Household cleaners
- Facial tissue
- Deodorant
- Body wash
Donations may be dropped off in the front foyer of WONC, 232 E. Chicago Ave. in Naperville. Thank you for supporting local veterans and their families!
