Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour posts weekly wishlist

Good Morning Everyone!

We are off to a strong start at the pantry this month.

We have already distributed close to 1,300 [pounds] of food, which is equivalent to 1,560 meals. What that means is we are consistently getting busier.

More and more people are reaching out help as the cost of EVERYTHING becomes increasingly unaffordable. We are putting all of our donations out as quickly as they come in. That is why every little bit matters so much.

Our consistently most needed items are:

PROTEINS (tuna, chicken, salmon, nuts)

microwave meals (Hormel, chef Boyardee, instant Mac and cheese)

pasta & sauce

canned vegetables

snacks (popcorn, crackers, granola bars)

We will also gladly accept fresh produce, including from your gardens.

Hygiene products like tooth brushes, tooth paste, soap, pads/tampons, and shampoo are also always needed and deeply appreciated.

You can drop off items in person by either placing them directly into the Pantry or into the black donation bin by our garage door.

You can also order through our Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/31DQMG6QQ65HX.... OR you can have items shipped or delivered to 58 Skokorat St.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

As always, thank you SO MUCH for all your support! We love and appreciate you!
