- Download the posters to affix to your collection bin. Download Collection Bin Sign
- Drop off at Westbay Community Action at the end of the month. Or, in the case of large donations, contact them to come collect the bins.

• Canned meats (tuna, chicken +++)
• Peanut butter and jelly
• Pasta and sauce
• Canned soups and stews
• Cereal and oatmeal
• Breakfast bars and granola bars
• Rice and boxed side dishes
