Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are food-centric times. Our tables are full, but it is not so for everyone. On Saturday, November 19th, from 10 am to noon, we’ll be sponsoring a community pantry collection on Sanborn Street, and the next day, Sunday, the 20th we’ll be collecting pantry items at our worship service.
Items from each of these collections will be shared between the Reading Food Pantry and Neighbors in Need in Lawrence. Below is a list of items that would be helpful.
- Instant coffee (regular and decaf)
- Swiss Miss hot chocolate
- Tea
- Canned fruit
- Goya products
- 2 pound bags of flour
- 2 pound boxes of granulated sugar
- Granola or protein bars
- Cookies (especially chocolate chip)
- Crackers
- Popcorn
- Mayonnaise
- Tissues
- Paper Towels
- Toilet Paper
