The young students will be asked to donate somespecific items that are in need at this time. Any monetary donations will be used to purchase meat and dairy products for the Food Pantry.
The Food Pantry is in need of many different items as their shelves are pretty bare at this time. Everything is in need to help restock the shelves. Here is a list of some specific items that are needed put baskets together for this upcoming holiday season: Canned goods, coffee, ketchup, mustard, crackers, pasta, sauces, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rice, soups, pudding, personal care items and paper products.
