Each Wednesday, we take a look at the pantry shelves and make note of the things on which we’re starting to run low. We call it What’s Needed Wednesday and post it here on the website and also on Facebook and Instagram each week. Just look for the familiar yellow sticky note!
Any food, hygiene, or basic cleaning supply is always welcome! What’s Needed Wednesday simply allows us to answer the often-asked question, “What is the Help Center in need of the most right now?“
Donations – including fresh and frozen produce – can be dropped off at the Help Center anytime we’re open. You can also drop donations in the Second Harvest barrels near the Customer Service counters at both Mt. Juliet Kroger locations (no perishables, PLEASE). We collect these donations every week!
Here is this week’s What’s Needed Wednesday list!
Summer can be a little more challenging when regular donations tend to slow just as the Summer Food Program needs extra support. Our regular pantry shelves and the Summer Food Program both need your help!
You can view our Amazon Wish List for the Summer Food Program via this link: Summer Food Program Amazon Wish List. The most-needed items are chocolate milk boxes, cereal cups, and fruit cups. You’re welcome to shop directly from the Wish List or purchase similar/off-brand items wherever you shop.
Thank you for helping make sure every child and family in our community has healthy food on the table. Your kindness means the world to families in need!
**We DO NOT need canned green beans or corn at this time, thanks!**
