South Palo Alto Food Closet

South Palo Alto Food Closet "food of the month" is hot cereal, especially instant oatmeal, or macaroni and cheese. Second Harvest Food Bank has not been offering either of these items lately. Of course your donations of any non-perishable food items are always very much appreciated. Due to storage problems we will be giving Safeway gift cards instead of actual turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year and will welcome any cash donations to be used to purchase them.
