Special need of the day: We need some Ravioli, Spaghetti, and Meatballs. They are disappearing from the shelves fast. Thanks.

Sarah: “Jugs of juice are rarely offered by the Regional Food Bank. They sometimes offer grape juice for purchase. It’s such a blessing to have other flavors available for our guests and families. The Army of Good fills in this gap and others for us. It is what separates us from other food pantries. Can’t thank you enough. Almost everything on the shelves comes from you people.”

Sarah’s Request for the Pantry today: crushed tomatoes, steak-and-potato soup, and chili.

Campbell’s Chunky Soup, Steak and Potato, $17.20.

Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs, Pack of 4, $4.00.

Hormel Chili With Beans (8 Pack), $23.12.

Sarah says everything on the wish list is urgent, but the crowds coming into the Pantry are bigger, and the items are going faster. “We are okay,” Sarah told me today, “special thanks to the Army of Good.”

Kim went outside today because she heard one of the customers was crying. She was in great fear. She got an eviction notice this morning, her husband is in the hospital, and they can’t afford health insurance. Kim invited her in to see if they couldn’t contact social services. The woman was trying for days.

Thanks for sending Chili Mac and Clam Chowder. Most of it will be gone by this evening.
