Can I just put canned goods into my “family’s” box instead of the Jewel Food Certificates?
A. Jewel Food Certificates are requested as we generally do not know any dietary restrictions. Jewel Food Certificates will be on sale at the Church and Pastoral Center. Canned goods and any other bulky/heavy items add weight to your box, which is not desirable. Jewel is preferred to Dominick’s as the Jewel stores are more accessible in the areas served by this program. We also receive funds from the certificate sales to use for Holu Cross Outreach programs.
