Calling all hunger-fighting heroes! Help us collect 15,000 cans of shelf-stable protein—like canned tuna, chicken, or Spam—for the Redwood Empire Food Bank.

When protein is the most expensive item on the plate, many low-income people are forced to go without it. Protein is a powerhouse nutrient that helps children focus in school, gives seniors energy to stay active, and supports families trying to make ends meet. Canned proteins like tuna, chicken, and Spam are shelf-stable, nutritious, and needed at our food distributions.

We’re looking for shelf-stable, unopened canned protein items like:
Tuna
Chicken
Salmon
Spam
Vienna Sausages
No glass containers or expired items, please!
