The St. Joseph Food Pantry assists over one hundred families each week. When we account for all of the adults and children who are benefiting, your donations are helping approximately 400 people every week.
Each week we prepare a standard bag of grocieries for each family, which includes items such as dry pasta, pasta sauce, canned beans and vegetables, tuna, top ramen, macaroni and cheese, toilet paper and a loaf of bread.
The most needed additional items are:
- Cereal and oatmeal
- Peanut butter
- Canned meat and fish
- Canned or boxed milk (soy, evaporated, sweetened condensed)
- Rice
- Canned fruit
- Hamburger Helper
- Diapers
- Toiletries (shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes)
