Good day. Pantry Executive Director Sarah Harrington’s message to me today is: “Jon, today’s Item is salad dressing—Italian, Ranch, or Ceasar.” All three can be donated for under $3.
We appreciate your support in this critical work. This food dressing is crucial as it adds flavor to the meals of the Pantry families. It is often missing and only lasts for a short time on the shelves. The pantry families are eternally grateful.
Sarah is always conscious of the cost of things and looks for items that can be purchased inexpensively, if possible. It isn’t always possible to be this low, but it was yesterday, and it is today. I’m sending one of each of the salad dressings.
The three options were chosen because all salad dressings are different and have different tastes. They are in great demand, and the pantry is out of all of them.
The Pantry families rarely get to make a choice; we thought this would be an important addition for them and their children. All three are available for donation at the top of the Amazon Pantry Food Wish List and linked individually to the list below.
_____
Option One: Wish-Bone House Italian Salad Dressing Bottle, 15 Fl. Oz., $2.67.
Option Two: Kraft Classic Ranch Salad Dressing (16 fl oz Bottle), $2.98.
Option Three: Kraft Salad Dressing Ceasar, 16 Oz., Bottle, $2.98.
All three are less than 9 dollars.
I’ve met many non-profit volunteers over the past few years, but I can’t recall any who have worked as long and hard as the pantry volunteers. They were all soaked in sweat yesterday when they unloaded hundreds of heavy boxes and bottles from the Food Bank truck.
Thanks so much for making this work worthwhile, uplifting, and excellent for the morale of struggling and needy people. It’s not easy volunteering at the pantry, and it’s not easy to be unable to afford food for your family. “When I see this wonderful food coming onto the shelves, it makes me and my children feel human,” one of the Pantry family fathers told me in an e-mail, “be sure to thank these people for me.”
