Canned fruit would be most helpful – peaches, pears, etc – and maybe some miscellaneous items like cans of coffee, instant pudding mixes, jelly, ketchup, mustard, etc? Each household gets 3 to 4 miscellaneous items along with the specified numbers of fruit, beans, veggies, starches, meats, etc…and there hasn’t been much ‘miscellaneous’ to give out other than jello and pancake mix and syrup.
