Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour posts wishlist

It’s been a minute since we shared a wishlist, so we figured we’d refresh everyone on what types of donations are most popular here.

Our most needed items are:
 Tuna/Chicken
 Canned Fruits/Vegetables
 Pasta/Sauce
 Cereal/Oatmeal
 Chef Boyardee

We’ll also gladly accept any unexpired nonperishable donations, fresh produce, bread, and hygiene products. 

You can leave items in the pantry (this is often most helpful ), in the black donation bin near our garage, OR have items shipped to 58 Skokorat St, Seymour CT. 

We also have an Amazon Wishlist. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1W5JKGF2XAMPF...

Every little bit helps.

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!
