Here is our list: kid snacks, cereal, canned protein like tuna, chicken, beans, shelf stable meals for seniors or ready-made meals, toothpaste, shampoo, dish soap, instant rice and noodle packets, jelly, canned fruit.
THANK YOU FROM MECHANICVILLE FOOD PANTRY ON MAY 6TH
“Yes, we received the wonderful donations (from St. Edward’s) today. We are just so grateful of all of the wonderful food items. It is amazing how you are able to find such great items for the kids and seniors. These are the items that are hard for us to purchase from the regional food bank.”
