Sarah’s Choice for food support today:
Old El Paso Traditional Canned Refried Beans, 1 Can, 160z Pack of 12, $15.48.
Del Monte Fresh Cut Diced Potatoes, Canned Vegetables, 12 Pack, 14.5 Oz Can, $17.88.
Plus, an innovative and urgently needed kitchen shelf is coming. “The shelf will have kitchen utensils that people seeking food – including those facing food emergencies – will see added to the pantry,” says Sarah, who is always listening to families in need and learning how to help them in new and innovative ways.
She is expanding the food pantry idea and widening the support and understanding of how people in deprivation support, dignity, and proper knowledge and tools.
These innovations spawn health, pride, and confidence. They remove some stigma from being unable to feed one’s family and provide the tools to be healthy and optimistic. I’ve seen Sarah as a humanitarian working to create a model food pantry, one of the most innovative and empathetic food pantry facilities.
It’s exciting.

I am very proud to support her in this new and groundbreaking work. I would appreciate your help moving forward. Those who support this pantry are doing much more than just putting meat on the table.
This new support aims to expand in small but important ways, helping people with hunger issues regain their independence and live without fear, with a sense of power and being heard.
And, as necessary, a life without shame.
I am 100 percent supportive of what she’s doing. She’s added some new items to her Wish List to support a Kitchen Shelf. The idea is to lift people to independence, not shame or ignore their wishes and needs.
Here’s what the new program will look like. It will also be on the wish list, which it already is.
Sarah plans to launch the new Kitchen Shelf in early January. I’ll let you know if you don’t mind. You can check out the above items any time, day or night, and even purchase some early. We’ve brought women’s needs, dental supplies, diapers, and vegetables to the shelves. Sarah is just getting started. You have made this possible. Let’s keep going.
This is another groundbreaker. Anything you can offer can help with the food challenge here and nationwide. The other pantries are watching.
Donors purchasing Amazon items also send messages from Amazon(available on their checkout pages) thanking the pantry volunteers for their work. Sarah is pasting the messages on the wall; I’ll paste them here. It means a great deal to the volunteers.
