- Mac & cheese
- Cream of mushroom/chicken soup
- Ramen noodles
- Misc. soups
- Side dishes- such as Knor side
- Kidney beans/ baked beans
- Canned fruit
- Boxed potatoes and stuffing
- Canned pasta, for example- ravioli
- Jelly
- Spaghetti noodles/ pasta sauce
- Monetary donations if you prefer that we shop
- Kroger rebate
- Last year we raised $346.59 just from signing up with your Kroger cards. If you would like to help us out and sign up for this then please do so or ask the office for help in getting this set up.

We will be adding to this list every time we have an additional non-budgeted item come through and marking paid once these items are paid off. Thank you so very much!
