AFB Most Needed LIST

At the Grocery Shop

Most Needed

We are actively purchasing many of our most needed items to ensure we can continue to meet the growing demand for food assistance.

We can purchase essential food items through monetary donations to ensure that every food hampers we distribute contains enough nutritious food to support the entire family. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins like meat and beans, dairy products, and other pantry staples.

We take great care in selecting the food items we purchase and work closely with our suppliers to ensure we can provide the best quality food at the most affordable prices. With the support of our community, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who are struggling to put food on the table.

We are grateful for any support we receive, whether in the form of monetary donations, food donations, or volunteer time. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity in our community.
