Our Lady of Mercy’s Food Drive

Your generosity provides essential meals to local families in need. You can bring non-perishable food items every Sunday and place them by the altar during the offertory, or support the drive through monetary gifts.

High-Priority Non-Perishable Items

Canned Goods: Tomato sauce, canned fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, and meats (tuna, chicken). Low-sodium options are highly appreciated.

Dry Goods: Long-grain rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, oatmeal, and Galletas María. Whole-grain choices are preferred for healthy options.

Shelf-Stable Dairy: Tetra Brik milk cartons.

Beverages: Instant coffee, tea, and Cola Cao.

Cooking Essentials: Vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and sugar.

Monetary Donations
Financial contributions allow us to purchase fresh and perishable items—including eggs, yogurt, chicken, sausages, and frozen vegetables—as well as specialized foods for gluten or lactose intolerance.

Tips for Donors

Check Expiry Dates: Ensure all items are well within their expiration window.

Accessibility: When possible easy-open cans (pull-tabs) and child-friendly packaging make a significant difference for recipient families.

Food packages are distributed to families every two weeks. Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and care for our community!
