Every Wednesday, we'll be highlighting a few items from our Amazon Wishlist that help us keep our shelves stocked and provide food for our neighbors in need.

Each week, we will focus on different items, from everyday pantry staples to breakfast favorites and other essentials that help families put meals on the table.

We're kicking things off with four items that can be used a variety of meals:
* Pasta
*Canned Vegetables
* Pasta Sauce
* Diced Tomatoes

Want to help? Visit our Amazon Wishlist to purchase any of these items and have them shipped directly to the food bank!

Yesterday, we received a very special donation of Birthday Bags from Girl Scouts Service Unit #215! 💚

The Girl Scouts put these bags together in honor of their founder, Juliette Gordon Low, whose birthday is on Halloween. 🎃This is such a wonderful way to celebrate her legacy of kindness, service, and giving back to the community.

For families experiencing food insecurity, celebrating a birthday can sometimes be difficult when there are so many other needs to worry about. These Birthday Bags are more than just a donation. They are an opportunity for families to celebrate and create special memories. 💙

A huge THANK YOU to the Girl Scouts Service Unit #213 for thinking of the families that we serve and for reminding us that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Thank you for helping make birthdays special, one bag at a time! 🎉🎈
