  • 1 granola bar
  • 2 tangerines or 1 apple in a Ziplock 
  • 1 pouch of tuna or applesauce cup

Bags should be dropped off in a box or grocery bags.

There is no required dress code. However, it’s encouraged to wear orange as it ties with Tango Charities. People with longer hair should make sure their hair is pulled back, or wear a ball cap, so it doesn’t hang in their face. Clothes could get messy in the process, therefore, it’s recommended people wear anything they can get bleach spots on.

For individuals seeking to complete service hours, each Feed The City event will be worth 3 service hours.

The more people, the more food, and the more food there is, the more there is to give to people in need. People can come in large or small groups, there is no limit to how many people can join. It also does not require people to stay the entire time, so feel free to leave early if it’s necessary.

If you are coming to the event it is preferred people bring the supplies needed, but if people just want to donate head to https://donorbox.org/tangocharities-donation.
