Food Drive for Survivors of abuse

Janelle Grum Family Crisis Center of East Texas is hosting a food drive throughout November to help meet the needs of survivors and their children residing in the agency’s emergency shelter. The holiday season can bring increased demand for shelter and support services as survivors seek safety and leave abusive situations, creating a greater need for essential supplies, including food. The safehouse provides three meals a day, along with snacks, to approximately 35 adults and children, and community donations help ensure these families have access to nourishing meals during a difficult time in their lives.

The agency's greatest need right now is for unexpired, nonperishable canned and boxed food items, including:

Cake mix

Icing for cookies and cake

Diced tomatoes

Assorted pastas

Sugar (white and brown)

Cornbread

Coffee

Coffee creamer

Cereal

Syrup

Tuna fish

Crackers

Ramen soups

Chef Boyardee

Ranch mix packets

Chili (Wolf or Hormel Brand)

Green beans

Dish soap

Peanut Butter

Canned Beans

Kool Aid

Corn

Cooking Spray

These items can be dropped off at any Family Crisis Center Outreach Office between 8am & 5pm, Monday - Friday. Be sure to call ahead for San Augustine, Crockett, and Nacogdoches offices to ensure staff are present.
