Those of you who'd like to contribute, here's what we're looking at presently: 1. Tuna 2. Sardines 3. Corned beef 4. Sugar 4. Cooking oil 5. Margarine 6. Evaporated Milk 7. Toilet paper 8. Toothpaste & tooth brushes 9. Female Personal Hygiene Products 10. Cereal 11. Peanut butter 12. Macaroni/Pasta/Chowmein 13. Mauby/Sorrel/Ginger Syrup 14. Rice 15. Flour 16. Salt 17.

Tea / Instant Coffee/ Cocoa 27. Canned vegetables 28. Deoderant 29. Boxed/Canned Juices 30. Canned soup 31. Ketchup 32. Jam/Jelly 33. Onions 34. Canned Luncheon Meat & canned hotdogs 35. Eggs (will buy close to time of delivery - re: storage/freshness) 36. Fresh Fruit/Vegetables (- same as with the eggs) 37. Frozen meat/Fish (same as with the eggs and fruits; also, not every family will get frozen meat... as not every family will have the capacity to store it) 38. cornmeal 39. Oatmeal / Barley/ Sago / Cream of Wheat 40. Maggie Cubes, and seasonings 41. Anything you think a household with a child might benefit from (- within reason) 42. Ensure 43. Baby powder 44. Reusable laundry baskets or utility/storage bins (- for delivery... And also to give less fortunate families options for food storage). Like last year, our emphasis on getting as much fresh, healthy food into the homes of underpriviledged families. However, as we're a small movement, storage will always be an issue. So as to prevent spoilage, I'll be buying the eggs/fish/meats/butter/fruits/veggies *right* before delivering. The other stuff, feel free to bring 'em by in bulk :) Last year, we were able to give 35 families groceries for 1-2 weeks. This year, my community aide has highlighted 50 families .. so lewwe #UpDeTing. Thank you, for your kindness. - H.U.R.T. (#HelpUsReachThem) Initiative. (at Apollo Fitness Barbados)
