In Saratoga County, Karl’s Kupboard in Halfmoon said the need for food and hygiene products in the community is great this time of year, when donations typically wind down after the holidays.
As a result, the New York School Nutrition Association (NYSNA) is hosting a food and hygiene product donation drive all week on the pantry’s behalf, with the goal of collecting “10,000 by the tenth.”
By that, they mean 10,000 pounds of food and $10,000 in donations.
Online contributions are best, because with what a typical shopper spends to buy one can of vegetables the shelter can purchase five at a bulk food bank discount, according to NYSNA.
Donations can be made online on the CAPTAIN Community Human Services website or dropped off at the NYSNA office, located at 21 Executive Park Drive in Halfmoon from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, June 10.
Karl’s Kupboard has an especially high need for the following items:
- Canned fruit
- Canned vegetables
- Soups
- Ramen
- Baking goods
- Seasonings
- Condiments
- Jelly
- Individual juice boxes
- Individual snacks
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Soap/Body wash
- Cleaning supplies
- Laundry soap
- Disinfectant wipes
- Dish soap
