THINK BEYOND THE CAN!



In 2025, we will be tracking the number of items donated in Upper Michigan, rather than focusing on weight totals as we have done in the past.  The reason for this change is to focus on non-perishable food donations that benefit the pantry and their clients most.


Items that are shelf-stable, easy to open, and require minimal-prep support those without full kitchens or gadgets.  Also simple, ready-to-eat items help people with limited access to cooking or refrigeration. 


Please reference the guide for ideas!
