Food bank

June 14th, 2011 at 06:42 pm

I went grocery shopping today and picked up some more items for the food bank. The post office is picking up the donations this Friday and Saturday.
The food bank issued a list of what they need the most, so I thought I sould include it here in case any of you are interested:
canned pototoes (I love them)
canned peas (a vegetable children will eat
chunky soups
instant pototoes
tuna, canned
chicken, canned
peanut butter
jelly
home style baked meals
powdered milk

I picked up most of the above items and I also added 3 boxes of mac and cheese (my granddaughters favorite) 2 cans of beef ravoli, scalloped potatoes, vienna sausage, spagetti, ragu sauce and toilet paper.

I sure hope they get a lot of food this weekend to replenish the food bank.

A few years ago, my friend gave me a surprise birthday party. All of my gifts were gifts to the food bank. I had a full grocery cart of food to deliver to them. (and it was a month before christmas) It was the best party I ever had!

    What a lovely idea for birthday gifts. My family adopts a needy family at Christmas in lieu of exchanging among ourselves. I've never thought of " food to give" as a birthday gift. I repeat, what a lovely idea.
