The school year will end soon, and area food banks face a critical shortage of food as they try to feed families in need with school-age children.
For several years, Fairfax Lions have collected shelf-safe food items and delivered the items to Food for Others (a local food bank). We’ll be doing that again this year.
Please bring non-perishable items to the Lions Club dinner meetings on either May 1 or May 15, 630pm, American Legion Post 177 (upper level), 3939 Oak Street, Fairfax, VA, 22030.
Check the “Use BY” date on each item to make sure it’s current. As a guide, please see a list (below) of the most needed items. Other food items will also be accepted.
Food for Others most needed items include:
- Peanut Butter
- Canned meat (chicken, beef, turkey, or seafood)
- Rice (16oz bags)
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Canned fruit (packed in 100% fruit juice)
- Beans (dried or canned)
- Canned Stew or Chili
- Pasta and Pasta Sauce
- 100% Fruit Juice
