Food items needed

The Hawks’ Nest will accept non-perishable food items only. All items must be new, unexpired, and unopened. Food items should be at least two months prior to their published expiration date.

All nonperishable food items are welcomed. The items needed most are:

  • Tomato soup
  • Canned chicken
  • Pasta sauce
  • Cereal
  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned tomato products (whole tomatoes, diced, sauce, paste, etc.)
  • Ready-to-eat soups

  • Snack items (crackers, granola bars, power bars, etc.)
  • Boxed meals (Hamburger Helper, scalloped potatoes, etc.)
  • Toiletries
