Take and Eat Food Pantry Shopping

Next time you go grocery shopping, pick up a few things for the Take and Eat Food Pantry.

The food pantry is currently short on funds, so to help anyone interested in donating food here is a list of the most needed items and where I consider the best place to buy them. I hope this helps you all with your decisions in what to buy. This is a list of items currently needed the most for food pantry.

Mike and I have currently stocked piled the following items for 2nd Tuesday handouts:

• Green Beans
• Corn
• Peas
• Mixed Vegetables
• spag. Noodles
• Canned Beans

 

All bought when they were being offered at a very low price.

Weekly we generally buy:

From Dollar Tree: Oatmeal, canned meats (mainly chili with or without beans, chicken bologna) pancake mix & pancake syrup.  These items are only $1 each which is not a bad price.

Other items (that food pantry is no longer buying) are:

• breakfast foods
• canned fruits

 

Still other items always needed are:

• soups

 

So keep you eyes open for good specials atour local stores. However, a great place to buymuch of these items is Aldi’s (one off 751 by Southpoint).

Things we can always use that are best found at Aldi’s are:

• Mac & Cheese, 
• Soups,
• Canned Chicken, 
• Chef BRD type products, 
• Tuna, 
• Canned Fruits, 
• Breakfast Foods

 

I hope this helps you have an idea of what is needed at this time. Thank you everyone foryour consideration of pantry needs and your continued support.
