OUTREACH MINISTRY

The staff at the Pendleton Food Pantry would like to thank you all for your continued financial support and food donations to the Pendleton Food Pantry!! The summer months are particularly "lean" – donations are traditionally down as we vacation – while use of the Food Pantry is up, as kids are home from school all day and cannot benefit from school lunch and breakfast programs. Your food donations are really welcomed and appreciated during the summer months, as well as all year long!!

We can particularly use "kid-friendly food" – macaroni and cheese, Spaghetti-os, Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee, peanut butter and jelly, pork and beans, spaghetti sauce, jell-o, pudding, and dessert mixes. And we can always use paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, and napkins), personal care items (bar soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes), and cleaning products (laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dish detergent), as clients cannot use food stamps to purchase these items and will use more of them during the summer when kids are home from school and playing outside!!

Your continued generosity and support for the Pendleton Food Pantry makes it possible for us to service as many local families as much as we can! Thank you again and have a safe and blessed summer!!!
