Canned vegetables: corn, green beans 3. Canned meats: tuna, beef, all others 4. Canned beans: pork ‘n beans, black beans 5. Canned soup: chicken noodle soup, vegetable soup 6. Canned tomatoes and pasta sauce 7. Grains: pasta, rice 8. Breakfast cereals and granola bars 9. Peanut butter and jelly (non-glass containers) 10. Shelf-stable milk At the conclusion of the food drive, Second Harvest will weigh your school’s donations. The winning schools will be determined by comparing the total pounds of goods collected from each school to the number of students enrolled to identify the average pounds per student. The school with the highest pounds per student is the winner!
