2021 Update

Gateway Back Packs for kids/summer nutrition program is now up and running. Items needed are: cereals, fruit cups, applesauce, soup, ravioli, canned pasta, ramen noodles, high protein bars (3 grams or higher of protein), cheese crackers, peanut butter (creamy, no nuts), crackers, apple butter, pudding, fruit chews, juice pouches or Hugs, pretzels, chips, Goldfish, popcorn, granola protein bars (2 grams or less of protein), hot chocolate mix, bottled water, and other appropriate snack items.

Children of all ages will be using this program so, if you can find pop top cans for any items, they would be easier for younger children to open than using a can opener!

Drop off points would be at the Garden City Methodist Church, 500 Laurel Drive, Monroeville or at Temple David (and we will deliver to the church).
