Wish List
We distribute so much food that our shelves always need replenishing, but these items are currently our greatest need:
- Canned meats (always our #1 need)
- Vegetable oil
- Ketchup
- Jams and jellies (especially non-grape)
- Progresso chicken soup (we have plenty of other kinds of soups — especially vegetable — but hearty chicken is always the favorite)
Please check dates! The Health Dept. does not allow us to put expired food on our shelves.
Additionally, personal care items, which cannot be purchased with food stamps, are always in high demand:
- Toilet paper
- Paper towels
- Toothpaste and Toothbrushes
- Deodorant
- Shampoo
- Shaving cream
- Feminine care
Thank you for your generous support!

Hi,
I’m a student at Wellesley College and work in the Wellesley College Office of Sustainability. Each year, we organize a campus-wide event where we collect donations from students moving out of their residence halls. Last year, we received a number of partially used shampoos, soaps, and fragrances as well as towels, bedding, and detergent.
Would these items (in partially used condition) be appropriate donations for your organization?
Thanks you.
