ENM @ MDC 2 - Can Food Drive
 

Once again we will be doing a can food drive to benefit the Graham County Food Bank (local in Robbinsville, NC). We will have places at the Microtel and Fire hall (dinner) to collect food.

12 Items=1 Raffle ticket

Items needed: (copy/paste from last year thanks @MAZ; )

There is an Ingles grocery store right across the street from the Microtel if you do not want to haul a ton of items on your trip.

• Canned meats: Think beyond tuna & soup, which food banks get tons of. Instead go for canned beef, canned ham, canned chicken, canned salmon or hearty ready-to-go meals like beef stew, and, chili with meat.
• Canned vegetables: Everyone donates green beans. Instead, give corn, potatoes, carrots, spinach, peas or any other veggies your family likes.
• Canned fruit: Not pineapple. This is the most commonly donated fruit. Any other fruit, particularly those in fruit juice without extra sugar, would be great. Dried fruit works too (raisins, etc.)
• Boxed meals THAT REQUIRE ONLY WATER. Hamburger Helper isn’t helpful if you don’t have hamburger.
• Low-sugar cereal like plain Cheerios
• Peanut butter
• Instant oatmeal, instant grits
• Cans of beans
• Pasta, pasta sauce
• Biscuit or baking mixes (again that only require water)
• Cans, cartons or boxes of powdered and evaporated milk
• Snack items for kids to take to school: juice boxes, applesauce containers, granola bars
• Spices like cinnamon, oregano, basil, salt, pepper


Where to turn in
There will be a donation area in the lobby of the microtel as well as at the fire hall for dinner

Thursday morning at the Microtel before dragon runs
Friday morning at the Microtel before dragon runs
Saturday at the fire hall. Pre "NATOR wars" and dinner.

Is there specific canned goods they'd like. Or just bring whatever?

Getting ready to update this. Give me just a second. :)
Basically anything thats ready to go or just add water.

Might be best to buy stuff at the local Ingles in Robbinsville rather than pack it cross country. Is what I did last year.
