Time to Step Up

Our local food banks are suffering under these stressful economic times!  I've included a couple of news links to some of the areas local to us - the oldest link is the Wicked Local from Brookline - which was written a year ago.  Everything else has been written within the last six months.
 
Food banks need our help!  Without our help, they will run dry and be unable to feed the needy.  Please - the next time you go to the store - buy a few things from the list below!  Find a church that accepts your donations or find your local food bank!
 
Items most helpful
peanut butter
canned beans
canned fruit
canned meat (ie, tuna, etc)
canned vegetables
canned milk
 
Think protein, vegetables, fruits, grains....

Our Food Pantry bag is almost full! Meg, Isaac and I buy a can of something each time we go to the store and it certainly adds up. Once we drop off this bag, we'll start a new one. I think we'll be able to take a bag to the Food Pantry every couple of months. Thanks again for encouraging us and for let us know of the need.
