If you’re looking for suggestions, here’s a list of items we always need.

• Coffee – any kind

• Canned Meat/meal (chili, ham, hash, tuna, etc.)
• Meal Makers (Hamburger Helper, etc.)
• Canned Pasta (ravioli, Spaghettios, etc.)
• Peanut Butter
• Cereal
• Spaghetti Sauce
• Canned Fruit

• Evaporated Milk
• Juice
• Dry Pasta
• Oil
• Bar Soap
• Toothpaste
• Shampoo
• Laundry Detergent
• Feminine Products (tampons, sanitary napkins)
• Reusable (cloth) bags
• Grocery Store gift cards in any denomination
(if we have them, we offer gift cards to clients with special circumstances)
Items may be dropped off at the following locations:
Canton Food Pantry, 960R Washington St., (rear of Rodman Building) most Mondays 7-9am, and every Tues. 8:30-9am
Canton Co-Operative Bank, 671 Washington St., Mon-Fri 9am-5pm

One last thing, we are still looking for individuals or companies that have a BOX TRUCK that could hold 4 pallets. It would be great if the truck bed is chest high so that the pallets of food can be driven on right from the loading dock at the Boston Food Bank. It takes about 2 hours, start to finish, and we are hoping to find several companies that could make the pickup with us every few months, so that no one company or individual is over-burdened.
Thanks so much for all your support and generosity over the holidays. Next month we’ll publish statistics so you can see how your money and food donations are being used.
