When we have it we provide each family with several cans of all of the above items. If every food pantry were heavily stocked with the above items many people would be fed. Due to space limitations and the need for eggs and oil cake mixes, pancake mixes etc are not as helpful as basic food. Outdated cans must be discarded and the Board of Health will not allow us to distribute home canned food. Most of our pantries receive bread, cakes, donuts, pies, and other ready made sweet items from Kroger. If you would like to give money, we are able to purchase many of the above items from Food Finders in Lafayette for a reduced cost, often as low as 19 cents per pound.
