Canned Food Drive

As part of our next community giving project, we are collecting canned and boxed foods to donate to children in need. The list below is provided by the Food for Kids program by the Volunteer Center. The temple is tying up with South Bay Balvihar, and volunteers will prepare ‘weekend meal’ bags from the collected items, which will be distributed to needy school age children in the area.

We appeal to you for your assistance with this project – let us give so that the less fortunate may also have a good start to the year.

We request that you bring items from the list below only. A drop off box will be placed near the temple entrance, and we will be collecting items at the temple until Sunday February 18. Please contact Githa (310) 941-9014 if you have any questions. Thank you for your support.

REQUEST FROM THE ORGANIZERS: PLEASE BRING SINGLE SERVING CANS OR BOXES OF FOOD, AND NOT LARGE BOTTLES OR BAGS AS THEY CANNOT BE USED FOR THIS DRIVE. For example, single serving ready-to-eat boxes of mac and cheese, canned vegetables etc. are preferable over bottles of pasta sauce, large packets of chips etc. Thank you for your generosity.
