As my earlier entry indicated we had volunteered at the Food Pantry and of course items were passed out by families circling items off of a grocery list. The list was made from what was available in the pantry.
I was surprised at the items chosen by people, but it taught items that I would purchase when I want to donate to any local pantry or charity food drive. Just in case you are interested, the following items are highly popular:
- Canned pineapple and apricots
- Canned Tuna
- Canned Pork or Chicken
- Canned Chicken and Dumplings
- Dried Northern Soup Beans
- Egg Noodles or Spaghetti
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Green Beans and Corn (Not really peas or carrots)
- Juices; Apple, Grape and various others
- Cereals for kids
- Ravioli and Spaghettios for the kids
- Rice and Pasta Sides
That is just a few of the most popular items that were chosen repeatedly from the pantry so if you ever want donate to a particular food drive I think these are good items to think about donating. We also give meat, but they have a freezer to store it so chicken and beef were given out as well. It’s good to know what to buy sometimes so we can give people what they want.
