The most-needed items are canned vegetables, fruits, soups, chili, and tuna or chicken; boxed meals, including mac and cheese, pasta, rice, stuffing, and instant potatoes; peanut butter, jelly, cereal, oat meal, granola bars, tomato sauce, canned beans, and pasta sides; holiday foods such as instant gravy, cranberry sauce, pie filling, and hot cocoa; warm socks, gloves, or small gifts for kids and seniors; and pet food for families with animals.
Those in need of assistance are welcome to come to Station 1 on Monday, Dec. 22, to pick up food and supplies. If you live in the Town of Rockingham and are unable to drive or travel, please reach out, and we will make sure items are delivered to your home.
