We've got some specific needs this week in the Food Pantry at the Emergency Aid Center!

🔵Spaghetti Sauce & Pasta - we give this to every family because it's so versatile and stretches easily
🟢Jelly - we specifically request that it be in plastic jars because many of our clients walk or ride a bike and glass breaks so easily
🔵Crackers - any brand, any style. Saltine crackers are an easy way to fill empty bellies with energy-sustaining carbs and the electrolytes from salt
🟢Vienna Sausage / Spam / any canned meat product - the protein from these keep our neighbors feeling full longer
🔵Mac & Cheese - any brand of cheesy pasta is a favorite of the families that rely on us for help
🟢Rice - again, a great way to stretch food and a staple for so many people! We do request the smaller, 1-pound packages rather than the big bags because we cannot divide the bigger packages into smaller ones to help more families
🔵Instant Mashed Potatoes - any brand, boxes or bags, just an easy-to-prepare and easy-to-eat comfort food
