Mercy's Gate Food Pantry List needs

 

Dear Friends,


Greetings! For March, we need many regularly requested items, such as cereal, oatmeal, canned fruit, peanut butter, jelly, and canned meals. We also have a special request: pancake syrup! We were blessed with a large donation of pancake mix from Care and Share, so pancake syrup to round that out would be a fantastic addition. We are also happy to receive anything from our food pantry list

.

PS – Did you know we have a refrigerator in the donation room? This allows you to donate perishable items like eggs or fresh fruit like apples, oranges, and bananas.


In March, our biggest needs are:            

• Peanut Butter

• Jelly

• Cereal

• Instant Oatmeal

• Canned Meals (like chili & stew)

• Spaghetti Sauce

• Canned or Dried Beans

• Canned Fruit

We also need:

• Chunky Soups

• Ramen

• Canned Chicken

• Tomato Sauce

• Canned Veggies (EXCEPT corn and green beans)

• Toiletries (including toilet paper and bar soap)


In Christ’s Love,

Jenny Kay

Program Manager
