Food Services Available until SNAP benefits are restored.
Non-Perishable food & personal hygiene items can be placed in the gray tote that is located at the front of both Safeway & Grocery Kart that will be distributed through Community Table in Alliance. Look for the “SNAP Back” logo on the totes or ask the cashier. A similar program exists in Hemingford and among the local dollar stores. Non-perishable food items include: boxed dinners that don’t need milk or butter, Canned fruits & vegetables, breads & cereals, beans, grains & pasta, boxed milk (shelf stable), sports drinks & water, condiments & spices, snacks & soda, crackers & chips, coffee & tea, tortillas. Non -food items: personal hygiene items (soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste & tooth brushes), cleaning supplies, pet food, baby food & formula, baby diapers & wipes, vitamins & supplements.
United Way is collaborating with our local community partners to help families directly! Every Wednesday evening from 5:30 pm -6:30pm we are hosting an evening meal and food distribution at Community Table. We plan to host Wednesday distributions until SNAP benefits are restored for families. As part of the efforts, we are collecting both food items and monetary donations (that will be utilized to purchase food for families in our community). Monetary donations may be dropped off at the United Way office (723 Flack Ave) or made online at www.uwwn.org/donate (include food in the memo).
