FOOD PANTRY REPORT/SHORTAGES FOR SEPTEMBER 18

Last Monday the pantry served 325 families. Help us serve our neighbors in need! All of the following are needed for our regular food distribution: canned soup, pasta sauce, pasta, canned vegetables, canned tuna, canned beans, boxed macaroni & cheese, dried rice, dried beans, canned fruit, dried soup/ ramen, unsweetened oatmeal and breakfast cereal, peanut butter & jelly, cookies and crackers, numbers 1 and 2 baby food, and baby formula (please, no larger than one pound package to facilitate distribution), and disposable diapers especially sizes 5 and 6.

Donating fresh bread or produce? Try to leave it with us Thursday or Friday morning or Sundays so as to keep it as fresh as possible for the Monday morning distribution. Do not leave it outside unattended –local wildlife will appreciate it, however we cannot distribute it after they have sampled it!

Frozen and refrigerated food donations must not be left unattended. If they thaw or warm up we must trash them. Bring them during Pantry operating hours or make special arrangements with us to insure required preservation! More details on our website, www.stmartinsweb.org.
