Protein Foods are Urgently Needed!

Food Prices are going up faster than they have

 in decades.  High protein foods like canned tuna

 and peanut butter are currently priced out of

 our budget allowance.  Please help us provide

 high protein foods to those in need by holding a

 protein foods drive.  We accept food donations

 year-round.  Call (310) 828-6016 x 10 to

 arrange a time to drop off your protein foods

 collection.

Baby Foods are

 UrgentlyNeeded!

Please consider holding a baby food and infant formula drive or making a baby food donation.  Westside Food Bank is in very short supply of baby food and we need to replenish our stock as quickly as possible to ensure that families in need with infants and toddlers have the nutritious food that is essential to healthy growth and development  

We are now accepting:

ü       Infant formula

ü       Jar foods – all flavors and stages

ü       Crackers, teething biscuits, and cookies

ü       Raisins & fruit snacks

ü       Juices: jars, cans, pouches and boxes

ü       Infant and children’s cereals

(For baby foods, glass jars are OK; otherwise, no glass please.)

Through the services of our member agencies, these foods will reach babies and toddlers from very low-income families who are in need.  For more information, please contact Allison Griffith at (310) 828-6016 x12 or allison@westsidefoodbankca.org
