Each household receives a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, bread and cereals, dairy, and non-perishable foods such as canned meats, canned and dried beans and canned and boxed meals. <br>Our meal sites offer five curbside "grab-and-go" meals, while three serve dine-in meals. All of SSKP's sites are located in faith communities, and we employ only a small staff, operating with the assistance of over 500 caring volunteers.
