We will need a total of 60 dozen of these items.

Procure or purchase paper goods and other food supplies:

If anyone has any connections with grocery stores, Starbucks, snack food companies, etc., we can really use their donations for this fundraiser. However, be aware that no carbonated drinks, fruit, soups or other prepared food is allowed.
