With tomorrow's frigid temps we ask that you park in the parking lot and come in the upstairs where there is room to keep everyone warm while you wait to receive your food.

Just some ideas if you are looking to donate.

Some tips and guidance if you donate to food pantries derived from feedback by those who use them:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and buttr which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growng can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dish Soap / Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
Most people buy what they think food pantry users want, but have never asked them. If you help families, single people, foster youth and the homeless, this list can help better tailor your donations!

I spent the day advocating for more budget money for food pantries. Lots of information to share so watch for info on what you can do to help!

Matthew 25:34-36

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Thank you to everyone that showed up to unload the trucks today. Everything was unloaded and put away in record time. So thank you, thank you thank you!!!

We are stocked and ready for tomorrow. Despite the below 0 temps WE WILL BE OPEN with some changes for everyone's safety. Please pass the word.

CLIENTS: Please park in the parking lot and come in the main door from the parking lot. You can come in and wait in the warmth of the church. The main entry into the pantry will be locked so we can keep our work area warm. There will be signs posted with the changes.

VOLUNTEERS: Please park on Main Street so that clients can park in lot. We are reversing our direct of distribution. Everything is already set up. We, again, need extra help. We will be on 2 floors but communication still needs to be smooth; and carry out people need to rotate with every client. If you are able to come be the hands and feet of Jesus we would love to have you join us.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, “I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Matthew 25:35-36
