Archon 38 runs from October 3-5, 2014. Although Can Town St. Louis does not have a panel, several members of our leadership will be attending and would be happy to collect donations from you! This event is NOT being coordinated through Archon, so be sure to direct any questions to this page or cantownstlouis[AT]gmail[DOT]com.
The Collinsville Area Food Pantry has specifically requested transient bags for people who don't have a stable living situation. If Can Town citizens each donate one bag, we could have a lot of food to bring to the food pantry. Every bit adds up!
The lists are available as a PDF if you want to print them out to take with you to a store. Remember to buy non-perishable items that don't require refrigeration, with poptop lids that DON'T require a can opener. As always, thank you for your help!
