The Pantry is out of canned beets and canned potatoes, which are essential items, easy to make, and good for health. I’m not sure why, but people have been slow to send them, and both have been unavailable at times. That often happens on weekends.

Take another look if you can, and if you can send some of these items, the Pantry will be grateful. We found sellers of both on Amazon.

THANK YOU! We are just receiving all of the Refried Beans, Mushroom Soup, Chili Mac, Ready Rice, Cake Mix, and Alfredo Pasta you sent. It’s going right into the shelves, and bless you a thousand times. Sarah says thank you, it makes a huge difference, and also rallies the volunteers and customers.
