Join the Challenge!
We’re frequently asked what our most needed items are (thank you). This was the inspiration for our monthly pantry challenges, and thanks to you, they’ve been wildly successful. Our pantry challenges focus on our most needed items, things we’re low on—and we’re always happily overwhelmed by the response.
Each month, we put the call out for a particular food or other essential to fill our pantry shelves. We hope you’ll will be part of our monthly challenges to help support the nearly 900 families we serve monthly. Here’s what’s coming up for the year (subject to change based on need).
September: Canned Veggies & Cooking Oils
This month, it’s a double challenge! We’re in need of both canned vegetables and cooking oils. Canned vegetables are shelf-stable, convenient, packed with essential nutrients, and something we always need at the pantry. Oils are a kitchen essential for preparing many meals. Your donations help keep our shelves stocked for pantry guests.
