The donations will support the Bridges group, a non-profit that benefits the homeless. The kits help feed the hungry when hot meals aren't available.
Cupo said he hopes to collect 300 kits. Items he needs include tuna or chicken salad meals with crackers, fruit cup or apple sauce, pretzels or chips, granola or cereal bars, and bottles of water.
Collection boxes can be found at the civic center, 495 Highland Ave., and Cupo's house, 118 Lincoln Ave.
