CAN JAM

HUNGER IS A TRUE PROBLEM FOR CHILDREN, TEENAGERS
AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES IN DUTCHESS COUNTY.

CAN JAM is Vassar Temple's year-round canned food donation-and-delivery program. Please drop off canned and non-perishable foods any time of the month during Temple hours. Place them in the “CAN JAM” bin in the foyer.

The first weekend of each month is our big push ~~ help us jam that bin full! The foods donated will be delivered to local food distribution sites and food pantries. Together, we can do something about hunger in our wider community!

Suggested donations:

  • canned proteins like tuna and peanut butter
  • canned fruits
  • fruit juices
  • pastas and sauces
  • canned vegetables
  • soups
  • cereals, hot or cold
  • rice, flour, grains
  • olive, canola, vegetable, safflower oil
  • beans, legumes
  • snacks
  • nuts

Please: No unsecured grains or cereals. Place glass jars in the bins carefully. Thanks!
