💛 MICRO MONDAY 💛

We know we haven’t had many Micro Monday videos lately! Life has been a little busy with school starting and a baby due any day now. 👶🏼📚 But we’re ready to get the next few Mondays booked up!

If you, your family, business, or organization would like to help fill the pantry, we’d love to feature you! ❤️ You can send us a photo or video of you filling the pantry and we’ll share it for Micro Monday.

And we especially LOVE seeing the kiddos help! 🥹 Letting our kids pick out items, stock the pantry, and see firsthand what it means to help someone in their community is such a simple but meaningful lesson.

If you or your kiddos stop by to fill the pantry, tag us and use so we can share it! 📸

Our social media feeds could always use a little more of people helping people. ❤️

Message us if you’d like to claim one of the next few Micro Mondays!

Whether you donate one can or a whole bag, every contribution makes a difference. Together, we can be superheroes for our neighbors. 💙

🥫 Canned soups & stews
🥫 Canned vegetables
🍑 Canned fruit or fruit cups
🥜 Peanut butter
🍓 Jelly or jam
🍝 Pasta & pasta sauce
🍚 Rice
🥣 Instant oatmeal
🥣 Cereal
🥫 Canned tuna, chicken, or salmon
🌯 Shelf-stable meals (mac & cheese, ramen, instant potatoes)
