CAPI Food Shelves Need You!

 

CAPI is currently in need of food donations for our food shelf program!  We serve an average of 1,800 low income individuals each month, nearly 350 families.  The vast majority of our food shelf clients are women and children (women comprise 85% of the participants), and we also serve approximately 140 seniors every year and 30 disabled immigrants.  Our program includes one Asian and one East African Food Shelf.  We accept any non-perishable food items such as canned goods and noodles.  At this time, our food shelves are in desperate need of the following items:
