PLEASE - Our Food Pantry Needs Your Help

Our pantry is still running out of food.  All grocery items are very much appreciated.  There are some sundry items i.e. toothpaste, adult diapers, shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc. that our community can use.  Please do not bring in glass containers or perishables.  Please make sure that all items have current expiration dates. Next time you shop buy a few extras and bring them to 430 DeMott Avenue.  Our pantry is located in the hallway outside the office. Thank you.
