Food

Non-perishable goods are always in short supply at our Food Pantry. We usually need canned vegetables, rice, pasta, cake mixes, breakfast cereal, canned tuna and chicken, canned or packaged soups, instant mashed potatoes, Jell-O, instant coffee, cocoa, and peanut butter. Fresh produce in season is always welcome, too.

Gift cards from Giant, Super Fresh, and Food Lion supermarkets are also helpful. 

Remember: food drives make excellent projects for Scout groups, neighborhood associations, school and church clubs, etc.
