Special Instructions

We currently have about 30 HOMEBOUND veterans, who we provide meals for. These are dropped off at their home once a week. Some houses have 1 person, other houses 2. We get produce donated from Gallaghers Shop-rite. Pick up is done Tuesday and Friday by UCP. Volunteers and restaurants can use these items to cook. We also get bread and baked goods from Rolling Pin Wednesday and Friday. Please coordinate when to come here to pick up these items to use PLEASE LIMIT PASTA PLEASE NO baked ZITI, NO Penne and NO Mac and cheese. Chicken, meatloaf, ham, egg dishes are much better choices. Please try and make the meals with PROTEIN, as we want our veterans to be well nourished
