Holiday Pantry Donation

Today's Donation

We were able to drop off all of this food to the pantry this morning. Thanks everyone for sending us their extra coupons.

Four Easy Ways to Help Your Local Food Pantry

Easy Ways to Help a Food Pantry

1)     Donate food-Organize a small food drive at your church, work or school. Donate the product to your local pantry.

2)     Donate personal care items-If you don't want to bother with carry cans of food you could collect personal care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes and deodorant. These items are always needed by food pantries.

3)     Donate money-If you don't have time to organize a drive, local pantries can always use monetary donations. If you get a receipt this is always tax deductible.

4)     Donate your time- Pantries are always looking for volunteers. Donate your time once a month to help out all year round.

Send your extra coupons to Coupons4FoodPantries. Your extra coupons will help us purchase more items for our adopted pantry. Coupons that are especially useful are:

Toothpaste

Shampoo

Tuna or Hamburger Helper

Boxed Potatoes

Canned Vegetables

Canned Soup

 

 



Thanksgiving Donations

Remember You Local Food Pantry

Before heading out to spend the holiday with your family this year, consider donating a case of food to your local food pantry or foodbank. To find your local organization visit:

Feeding America

 

According to Feeding America, hunger in America exists for over 50 million people. That is 1 in 6 of the U.S. population – including more than 1 in 5 children. Your donation can go a long way in eliminating this problem. Happy Thanksgiving.

Did You Toss That Carrot Stick Away

 On June 4th – the day before World Environment Day – USDA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will launch the U.S. Food Waste Challenge and call on organizations spanning the food supply chain to join the fight against food waste.

Hopefully together they can help reduce the amount of food that is sent to landfills and increase the amounts that are recovered to help families in need.
