Our pantry can always use healthy food options for our clients, especially for our local children and seniors. We always need Ensure Nutrition Shakes to share with Meals on Wheels of Wake County, NC. Here’s this week’s list. We try to gear our lists towards meal easy meal prep like quiches, chicken with black beans and rice, spaghetti with meat sauce, etc. Also, we rescue about 500 bagels each week through bagel.rescue, Benchwarmers Bagels, and Bruegger's Bagels. Cream cheese and cream cheese spreads will be great to go with our bagels. Our goal for the summer is to offer bagels to kids while they are on summer break.
