MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS: We have tables outside the Food Shelf, one with miscellaneous items and the other with recently outdated items. Please help yourself to those items that you will use. There are also water bottles and we put out larger produce like zucchini and/or cucumbers if you are interested in making relish.
GARDENERS AND THEIR FRESH VEGETABLES: Thank you so much for the fresh produce from our local gardeners. So far we have gotten: cucumbers, zucchini, garlic, green beans, summer squash, Swiss chard, and lettuce. We have also started to get some tomatoes. Thank you! Fresh vegetables are much appreciated.
DONORS: As a reminder, there are volunteers at the Food Shelf at 11:00 AM on Wednesdays, preparing for the day, if you would like to drop off donations between 11:00 AM – 12 Noon. Please do not leave donations if there is no volunteer there. Some grocery donations to consider might include apple juice; Progresso or Campbell’s Chunky soups with chicken or beef; cereals (Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, etc.); pasta sauce (without meat). Please check the dates to avoid bringing outdated items. Thank you for your help!
