All kinds of outdoor stuff: Hat, Gloves, Sunscreen, Bug spray, Rain Gear, Hard-hat, Climbing Belt, Light Coat or Sweatshirt…
Flashlight!
Long pants, socks and close-toed shoes. There's some rough terrain with lots of poison ivy.

Avoid foods that require refrigeration, Cause there ain't any...

For the Nashua Soup Kitchen: Be a "Canned Ham"
- There are hungry people all year round. Bring a can or two and donate it.
- Did you already read that earlier? Did you forget? Hunger is not fun.
For the overnight operators and other insomniacs-coffee, too.
- We need some easy food for the overnighters-anyone want to cook up something?
