Seymour Oxford Food Bank seeks frozen turkeys for Thanksgiving

Good Morning Community!!!

We are in the FINAL STRETCH of collecting for our Thanksgiving Meal Distribution!!!

As you know, we have teamed up with the Seymour Oxford Food Bank, The Blessing Pantry, and the Oxford Neighbor to Neighbor Pantry to distribute meals to OVER 400 families this Thanksgiving.

Thankfully, our entire community has rallied around this effort!!!

Currently we are only 50 turkeys away from what we need. We KNOW with your help we can get there!!!

You can drop frozen turkeys at the Food Bank during routine business hours OR making arrangements to drop them to us.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us or the food bank.

We are so grateful to our ENTIRE community for your support. You are the MAGIC that makes the holidays and EVERYDAY so special.

We love and appreciate you!!!

The Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour posts weekly wish list

SEYMOUR - It’s been a while since we [at The Little Free Pantry on Skokorat] have posted a wish list because we’ve had SO MUCH support coming in.

That said, we’ve also noticed our foot traffic steadily increasing, especially since the flooding. Word is getting out that we are here to help and we are seeing more and more new visitors.

With the number of times per day we are filling the pantry, we could use YOUR help making sure we continue to have supplies on hand and in the pantry.

We will gratefully accept ANY donations of nonperishables (please check expiration dates), fresh produce, and bread.

Our most consistently needed items are:

PROTEINS (tuna, chicken, salmon, nuts)

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

pasta & sauce

canned fruits & vegetables

cereal

peanut butter

snacks (popcorn, crackers, granola bars)

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!
