IF YOU WANT TO GET ONTO THE ISLAND, YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN FOOD TO GET PAST THE NEMO FOLKS.
they are somewhat short on food. they do not need more people. what they need is several hundred strong men and women and a big kitchen to keep them going!

We are coming in tomorrow have our own food water purifier and tent. we are bringing tarps, gloves garbage bags batteries flashlights and some baby supplies. If we can fit extra food what should we bring?

alot of dry goods are being suggested...no cans..too heavy

powdered baby milk??

Maybe beans, rice, stuff that can fill people and go a long way.

energy food. case of powerbars. Vitamins. anyone have experience here?

Suggestions only: Some may have other ideas:
Meat will be difficult to keep without refridgeration......but there's some fish!!
Dried fruit in plastic packages or trail mix
powdered milk
oatmeal or cream of wheat
dried meat or "jerky" for protien
nuts
of course rice and beans
instant or dried vegetable soup mix
macaroni and cheese
dehydrated "camping meals" (Sporting goods store)
powdered baby formula!!!!!
granola bars
flour, sugar, baking powder soda etc. for bread (some folks have generators for stoves)
ramen noodles
instant mashed potatoes (flakes)
crackers
tortilla mix (just add water)
treats for kids
chewable vitamins for kids
kool aid mix for kids
salt, pepper and basic cooking spices
Don't forget basic cooking utensils!! I hear that they are at a premium.
Good luck Debbie

Ready Reserve Foods of San Berardino CA. sells large supplys of dehydrated storage foods. I will call and see if can donate. I hear they have a lot of stuff left after Y2K.

I got an update here, they do have plenty of food and water, they just want people who come to the island to bring their own with them.

Kids not hungry, but more can't hurt!

I just called Ready Reserve Foods. They will check and see what they can do as a donation. They also offered a 50% discount on any food purchased. If you want to buy call 1-800-453-2202 tell them this is for Keith victoms, and THANK YOU!

right on...food and water is the necessity to keep them all strong!!!
