Food of the Month

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

In light of my previous post about weird things people donate to the Food Pantry, you might be feeling a little self-conscious about your own prospective donations. Are they strange? Will we mock you if you donate a Thai Tofu Instant Rice bowl? Does anyone actually eat Spam?

Well never fear! We have just the thing to calm your worried mind. EECM’s Food of the Month. Each month, we feature a specific item that the Food Pantry always needs. These are the staples that we give out all the time and that we can never ever have too much of. So, if you are in need of inspiration for a good Pantry donation, peruse the list below. (But just so you know – we’ll take any of these at any time. If you have a cache of peanut butter begging to leave your shelves, you do not need to wait until January to give it to us.)
