SEYMOUR - A huge thanks to EVERYONE shipping and dropping off donations to the pantry!

We could not do any of this without you.

Our stocking shelves are currently low, so we mean it when we say that EVERY LITLE BIT HELPS.

Just a reminder that 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 ARE ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF PROTEINS THIS WEEK.

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.
