Our needs change all the time at the Brewerton Community Food Pantry, which is something we'll be talking about here over the next month or so. Our inventory is constantly changing, depending on what we're able to purchase/receive from the Food Bank of CNY, what we receive from Amazon donations, what we receive from the Grocery Rescue program, and of course, the donations we receive from businesses and individuals in the community. One thing we learn to deal with here is constant change!
For example, right now, we have some specific needs. We currently need ziti/penne, white rice, and egg noodles (note: we do NOT need elbow macaroni). We also need canned (or pouched) tuna and chicken. We could use boxes of mac & cheese, and canned pasta sauce.

And we also need plastic storage bins WITH LIDS for storing food safely in the pantry. We have some, but they tend to break after years of stacking and use. We'd love to add to our bin inventory with large plastic totes with lids (64 gallon and up). They don't need to be new, but they must be clean and intact. In fact, if you want to throw some boxes of pasta or other non-perishable foods INTO a plastic bin and drop it off at the pantry, that would be extra lovely! π
As always, you can leave food donations 24/7 in the marked bins at the Brewerton United Methodist Church's side door, or at the pantry entrance toward the back of the same building. Or stop during pantry hours: Tuesday 10:00 - noon, and Thursday 2:00 - 6:00. The church is located at 5395 Orangeport Rd., Brewerton.
