Food Drives

While there was a time when 99% of the food we give away was purchased from the Food Bank, more and more LCS relies on food drives as a source of food. Each year, scores of churches, organizations, schools, and businesses run food drives for which LCS is the recipient. The ultimate beneficiaries of course are our clients in need of good healthy food. If you are interested in running a food drive, please contact us at 302 654 8886, ext. 100 or click here to send us an email. If you want to do a food drive, but don't know how, we will be glad to show you. And we can provide recyclable shopping bags – that include a list of our most desirable items – for use in food drives. The items we most want include:

Ravioli, spaghetti, meatballs in sauce
Tuna/Chicken/salmon
Beef stew
Corned beef hash
Ham and other canned meats
Canned fruit
Canned vegetables – spinach, yams, carrots etc.
Soup/stew
Beans
Pasta
Crackers
Macaroni and cheese
Cereal, grits, cereal bars, oatmeal
Peanut butter
Fruit juice
Dry or evaporated milk
Baking mixes for pancakes, waffles

And in the summer if you like to garden, we would be very interested in fresh vegetables to supplement the nonperishables that we give out to people in need.
