We are once again collecting new and gently used blankets, socks (new only, please), ready to eat and/or heat and serve canned foods, and pre-packaged foods to share with Victory Alliance Church in downtown Indianapolis.  They will share the items with our homeless community.  They do not have resources to prepare foods, other than heating and serving, so, please, no foods that must be prepared.

Items that work best are canned stews, instant soups, canned spaghetti/ravioli, easy to open cans (ready to eat), beef jerky, tuna packets, granola bars, nutri-grain bars, trail mix, pudding cups, fruit snacks, individually packed dried fruits, juice boxes, Ensure, individually packed crackers, pretzels, chips, cookies, etc.  Water bottles, individual packs of Crystal Light and Gatorade are also helpful.
