Food Pantry Collection During March and April
This month many government benefits including food stamps were reduced significantly. There has never been a greater need for food for those that need it. During March and April we are collecting foods for our pantry. Below is the list of items that are most needed. You can leave your foods in the Narthex in the marked box. It is best that canned foods have pop tops and jarred foods be plastic.
- Peanut butter
- Canned pasta or entrees (Chef Boyardee, etc.)
- Canned meats like tuna and chicken
- Canned or dried beans
- Canned fruit and vegetables
- Pasta and sauce
- Shelf stable milk
- Soup
- Cereal (low or no sugar are best)
- Packaged side dishes like macaroni and cheese, rice pilaf
- Healthy snacks (no nuts please due to allergies)
Remember: Personal hygiene and household cleaning items are always needed as well! Laundry detergent is one of the most frequently requested items.
