Over the week ending with a quite cold 22 January distribution, we received approximately 3.78 tons of non-perishable food, and gave out some 3.42 tons of non-perishable food and substantially less perishable food to 351 families.
Estimated shortages for the next two distributions (projecting 380 families each week): (1) canned fruit (short approx. 471 cans), (2) pasta (short approx. 438 boxes), (3) pasta sauce (short approx. 436 bottles/cans), (4) canned beans (short c.422 cans), (5) tuna/canned meat/canned fish (short c.385 cans), (6) canned soup (short c.321 cans), (7) dry rice/beans (short c.278 pounds), (8) “meals in a can” (stew, canned pasta, chili, etc.) short c.246 cans, and (9) canned vegetables (short approx. 112 cans).
We also need: #6 diapers, baby wipes, and Pediasure. We also need Ensure for adults. With thanks for a very large donation of the same, please hold off for the time being on any donation of adult diapers/Depends.
Paper grocery bags (Wegmans or Trader Joe or Lidl size) and plastic newspaper bags and plastic grocery bags are always needed. May God bless you for all your help for our work!
