Last week's poll

Last week we had three (3) people respond to our poll, and 2 people donated 7+ food items last week, and 1 person donated 1-6.

Beginning in the month of April we will be totalling up the church's food donations every week and I will let you know just how well we are doing with our donations. The Food Stamp Program has led me to see first-hand just how important it is to keep our food pantries in town stocked all year (not just during the holidays!)

If I had a "wish list" of items I would like to see at the Food Pantries, it would look something like this:
- Grapefruit juice
- Coffee
- Canned fruits
- A variety of jellies/jams/preserves (they always sell some neat ones at TJMaxx!)
- Gravy to put on mashed potatoes
- Progresso soups (after awhile the colors and tastes of foods that have "variety" are like a dream come true!)
- Jarred "stuff" to make some nice salads (marinated mushrooms, eggplant, etc.) so that if you wanted to have a special dinner to commemorate something, you could do it without using a quarter of your food budget.

These are just a few of the things that would really make my mouth water when I went shopping - things that I will add to my cart from now on when I go shopping for my food donations!
