The Food Pantry Partnership’s requested items for May are: canned fruits and canned vegetables. Other staples the pantry is always in need of include peanut butter, jelly, tuna, and spaghetti sauce.
According to St Raphael-Holy Angels’ food pantry director, senior citizens on Social Security comprise 70% of those who make use of the pantry, located at St Raphael’s Parish Center (151 Gropp Ave, Hamilton).
If you know of anyone in need—whether or not they’re seniors—please let them know that (except in November) the pantry is open every other Saturday from 9 to 11 am. (See list of dates, below.) Pre-registration is
