Monthly Food/Supplies Collection
Drop off on May 21 @ 9 am - 12 pm
If you’d like to donate food or supplies to communities in need, please leave your bags at the south entrance of the Community Center (1250 Fifield Place) between 9 am-12 pm on the last Friday of the month through May 2021. You can drop off donations the night before, but please notify CTC - or Kristin Michels on Facebook Messenger if after 3:00 pm.
What to Donate
Food Items:
- Must be “shelf stable,” or non-perishable products that can be safely stored at room temperature for an long periods of time (a week to a year)
- Ex: canned foods, uncooked rice/pasta, long-lasting produce (like oranges, onions). More non-perishable foods to donate.
- If you’re going to donate items that might be easily crushable (like uncooked pasta, paper towels, etc.) it would be great if you could put those in a separate bag so I can load them in/out of my car and into the donation barrels easily.
Hygiene Supplies:
- Diapers (any size), wipes, formula, paper towels, toilet paper, menstrual products
In addition to separating crushable items between donation bags, please limit bag weight to 15 lb. or less.
No Household Items
Do not donate household items to CTC's Donation Drive (e.g. clothes, shoes, binders, stuffed animals, and kitchen pans). Our monthly donation site will not accept household items, in which they will be thrown away. You can donate household items at Goodwill or Freecycle, not CTC.
