Sarah selects the items on the Wish List for us to purchase. This holiday weekend, she’s requested three inexpensive things and the chance to make our own choices. We can significantly impact many people with just a few pennies (or a little more if we feel generous – Tide is always popular). Please take a few minutes to browse the Wish List at your convenience and make your choices thoughtfully, as so many of you are doing.
The Wish List is a unique and unprecedented tool for understanding the needs and lives of the food-challenged and those working so hard to help them.
The Wish List is a unique opportunity for us to understand and meet the needs of the food-challenged and pantry workers. Your thoughtful choices can make a huge difference in their lives. Your work has been a tremendous morale boost for the pantry workers and those in need of food support. Seize this opportunity to directly impact their lives at a very low cost.
This weekend, the Pantry had a huge crowd; on Saturday, they set up for 45 families, and 43 came.
Here are the real bargains and other items on the wish list. Feel free to make your own choices. Everything on the Wish List is desperately needed:
Fresh, Yellow Cling Siced Peaches in Fruit Juice, 15 Oz, $1.79.
Sliced Pears In Pear Juice From Concentrate, 15.Oz, $1.51
Fresh Brand, Canned Pineapple idbits in Pinneaple Juice, 20 Oz, $2.43.

Jon’s Items
The items below are from other items that Sarah has put on the Wish List.
She can monitor the purchases and donations as they come in; she has a keen and timely sense of what is going out and what is needed. If you have a few extra dollars on hand, please consider them.
Tide is on the list as frequently as anything; it would be nice to build it up, and disinfectant is always a good idea for households where money can force people to choose between food and household things:
Tide Liquid Laundry Detergent, Clean, Heavy Duty Original Scent, 21 Loads, 34 Fl. oz., $5.50.
I’m on a personal campaign to increase Tide Laundry Detergent’s stock. Keeping it on the shelves is challenging, but people really want it. They ought to be able to choose their detergents.
