Then you might call around to different restaurants or grocery stores, explaining the situation, and ask if they'd be interested in donating food/other supplies such as napkins, paper plates, etc. You would need to have publicity so you may contact your local newspaper about putting an ad in there; you can also make up flyers and post them in public places such as supermarkets or other places with "Community News" postings.
