Do you have an abundance of paper bags from Walmart or other deliveries?
Not sure what to do with them? Please consider donating them to Small Town Project Food Share.

We use bags to package Produce and frozen items so they don't get damaged in the boxes.

We do have a donation box conveniently located at the front entrance to our building so you may drop off anytime outside of our scheduled hours of operation.
All donations are always greatly appreciated!!!!!!
