FOOD PANTRY – Christmas Food Baskets
Cranberry Sauce, Yams, (28 oz cans)), Brown Sugar. We need many donations of these three items to meet our goal. Additionally, we’re collecting: Brownie Mix, Stuffing Mix, Turkey Gravy Mix, Green Beans, Boxed Mashed Potatoes, Vegetable Oil, and Reusable Shopping Bags. Because the need for food is so great, we are expanding our collection beyond our holiday items. We suggest easy to prepare items: canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meat, cereal (no sugar added), macaroni and cheese, pasta, canned spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, canned beans, dry beans, rice, canned fruit, boxed potatoes, jelly (plastic squeeze bottles), pancake mix, syrup (plastic bottles) or any shelf stable food you would like to provide.
