As you prepare to attend our Christmas Party, remember to bring your package for the Food Bank. Here are some Ideas from a person that spoke to people who actually receive donated food items:
- Everyone donates mac and cheese in the box but it is hard to make use of because it requires milk and butter which is hard to get at food banks.
- Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
- Canned vegetables and soups are great but often need a can opener or a pop top.
- Oil is a luxury but it is needed for rice-a-roni.
- Spices or salt and pepper make a real Christmas gift.
- Tea bags and coffee make people feel like you really care.
- Sugar and flour are treats.
- Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
- Food Banks get a lot of peanut butter and jelly but little sandwich bread.
- Butter or margarine are useful.
- Cake mix and frosting make it possible to make child’s birthday cake.
- Dishwashing detergent is expensive and always appreciated.
- Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
