Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour posts weekly wish list

Good Morning!

SEYMOUR - We [at the Little Free Pantry on Skokorat] just wrapped up another RECORD BREAKING month, having distributed close to 3,500 lbs of food in August. That is over 1,000 lbs more than our previous record!!!

As we continue to see increased traffic and need, we can’t help but be grateful for the AMAZING support of our community. The vast majority of the food passing through the pantry has come there by way of YOUR DONATIONS. YOU are the MAGIC✨ that keeps the pantry running. 
We couldn’t do any of this without you.

Just a reminder that our consistently most needed items are:

πŸ‘‰πŸ» PROTEINS (tuna, chicken, salmon, nuts)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» microwave meals (Hormel, chef Boyardee, instant Mac and cheese)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» pasta & sauce
πŸ‘‰πŸ» canned vegetables
πŸ‘‰πŸ» snacks (popcorn, crackers, granola bars)

WE ARE ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF PROTEINS AND PEANUT BUTTER THIS WEEK. πŸ«ΆπŸ»

We will also gladly accept fresh produce, including from your gardens. πŸ₯’πŸ₯¦πŸ₯•

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 couldn’t do this without you!
