What to give

Those who wish to donate food to charity are advised that the contributions must be non-perishable.

BUT WHAT CONSTITUTES NON-PERISHABLE DONATIONS?
Non-perishable foods are ‘shelf-stable’ items that do not spoil or decay.  Please donate kindly from the suggested non-perishable suggestions below to help us provide a well-balanced, nutritious set of foods to those who do not have enough to eat.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES GROUP
Canned or dry fruits and vegetables in an array of colours will help ensure consumption of many vitamins and minerals.
•    Canned vegetables
•    Vegetable juice
•    Canned tomatoes (juice and sauce)
•    Canned fruit and fruit cups (in its own juice)
•    Fruit juice
•    Dried fruit
GRAIN GROUP
Whole grains provide maximum nutrition value and long-lasting energy.
•    Low sugar/high fiber cereals
•    Cereal bars
•    All pasta types
•    Rice
PROTEIN GROUP
Lean meats and canned or dry beans provide the necessary fuel for muscles.
•    Canned tuna, salmon or chicken
•    Glass jars of beans and peas
•    Baked beans
•    Dried and canned beans and peas.

Now, all we need to know is where these donations can be made in Bigastro to ensure that they reach the people who need them most.
