Food Shortage-- Can You Help?

An excellent article recently appeared in the Gresham Outlook about the need of local food pantries. 

We have a number of food pantries in East County, but they are in desperate need of more food to meet the ever-increasing need.  Will you help?  Please donate canned food to the locations below.

Some of the food they could use:

• Vegetables and fruit (fresh and canned)

• Milk, baby formula, baby food and disposable diapers

• Soups

• Chili

• Canned hash or ravioli

• Tuna

• Tuna, Hamburger or Chicken Helper

• Flour, baking mix or pancake mix

• Instant mashed potatoes

• Meats and deli items

• Laundry soap to wash donated clothing

• Toiletries such as bars of soap and toilet paper

• Can openers for the homeless and families living in their cars

• Pet food
