Food Pantry
Many of you have heard about the severe shortage in the Urban Ministry's Food Bank. As a university family, we can help to alleviate this problem. We cannot stand by and let this happen so, Urban Ministry has supplied boxes for us to fill with non-perishable foods to help restock their food pantry. The need in this community is so great as the Urban Ministry uses 50,000 pounds per week to feed the citizens in this community. We have boxes in all the buildings on campus. Please consider giving to this worthy cause.
When you shop, please select one or more canned and non-perishable food items such as:
Protein Sources:
Tuna, Salmon, etc. Beef Stew, Spam, Corned Beef, Peanut Butter, 18 oz.
Vegetables:
Greens, e.g. Turnip, Mixed Vegetables, Peas (green), Tomatoes, Corn, Green Beans
Fruit Juices
Soups
Sugar, 2 lbs.
Dry Milk
Oatmeal, 18 oz.
Macaroni & Cheese
Bags of dry beans
Fruits:
Peaches, Pears, Fruit Cocktail, Applesauce
Dietary Supplements: e.g., Ensure
