JANUARY NEWS THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW....
Item of the month: Canned vegetables
Why not donate a few cans to help our community? Any food that is “shelf-stable” or nonperishable – if you can keep it in your pantry and it will not go bad. Please remember only donate food that has not reached its “sell-by” date yet. Canned food to consider donating includes canned soup, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned stew, canned fish, and any type of canned beans.


Help needed:
Kelly is still in need of two volunteers for the 1st Thursday and 3rd Thursday of the month. If you know anyone who would like to join our team - call the Strongsville Emergency Food Bank and leave a message. You will be contacted. Phone: 440 580 3280
