Northeast Pantry Donations - December 2024
Macon County has one of the 10 highest rates of food insecurity in Illinois. Families and individuals in our community are struggling with high food prices and looking to local food pantries for help. Let’s join together and help by supporting Northeast Community Food Pantry on December 1, 2024. Please place your food donation in the shopping cart in the Connection Café. Let’s fill the cart!
Thank you Central for last month’s donations that totaled 120 pounds of nonperishable food items. Here are some suggestions for December: canned soup, canned chili, pancake mix that only requires water, syrup, peanut butter, canned chicken and tuna, pasta, canned spaghetti sauce, cereal, canned fruit, dried noodles, broth, boxed mashed potatoes, and rice. Please, be sure to check the expiration date. It is also a good idea not to donate items in glass packaging.
