Over the week ending with 13 May, we received approximately 3.41 tons of non-perishable food, and gave out some 3.7 tons and about the same amount of perishable food to 380 families.
Shortages for the next two distributions (projecting 390 families each week): (1) canned soup (short approx. 908 cans), (2) “meals in a can” (stew, canned pasta, chili, etc.) (short c. 563 cans), (3) canned vegetables (short approx. 495 cans), (4) pasta (short approx. 481 boxes), (5) pasta sauce (short approx. 480 bottles/cans), (6) canned fruit (short c. 375 cans), (7) canned beans (short c. 358 cans), (8) tuna/canned meat/canned fish (short c. 350 cans), (9) dry rice/beans (short c.316 pounds), (10) oatmeal (sort c.174 boxes), and (11) mac & cheese (short approx. 60 boxes).
We also need: Similac Blue and Similac Orange baby formula, and/or domestic or foreign equivalents/substitutes, Nos. 4. 5 and 6 diapers, baby wipes, and Pediasure, and adult diapers/ Depends sizes small, medium and large. With thanks for a recent very large donation of the same, please hold off for the time being on any donation of extra-large adult diapers/ Depends.
Paper grocery bags (Wegmans or Trader Joe or Lidl size) and plastic newspaper bags and plastic grocery bags are always needed.
May God bless you for all your help for our work!
