Donate to food bank

MONTE VISTA — The Monte Vista Emergency Food Bank is in need of the following food items: cereal, canned beans (all varieties), packets of powdered milk, pasta, spaghetti sauce, hamburger helper and cake mixes.

These items are not purchased by the food bank and are given to larger families to help supplement the regular food they receive. Food needs are not limited to that requested, and all unexpired food donations are greatly appreciated.

The food bank is open Tuesday and Friday from 2-4 p.m. and is for emergency use only. If emergency food is needed when the food bank is closed, please contact the Monte Vista Police Department and a designated food bank representative will provide food for the emergency. This service will be provided no earlier than 8 a.m. and no later than 8 p.m. on days other than Tuesday and Friday only.
