  • canned vegetables
  • vegetable and fruit juices
  • diced tomatoes
  • tomato sauce
  • spaghetti sauce
  • canned fruit
  • dried fruit
  • shelf stable fruit cups
  • oatmeal
  • crackers
  • all types of pasta
  • cereal
  • whole grain rice
  • dry milk
  • evaporated milk
  • boxed shelf-stable milk
  • canned tuna, salmon, chicken
  • baked beans
  • canned chili
  • canned beef stew
  • peanut butter
  • nuts
  • jelly, jams

This is only a suggested list. Please pay careful attention to the expiration dates, as we cannot use any item that is already expired.

Thank you for supporting the Chester Food Pantry.
