Food Pantry Shopping Trip
The food pantry at Hope is a pantry of choice. This means that clients are able to come and go shopping - picking out the things they want to bring home to their family.
This fits our mission of treating all people with dignity - empowering them to make decisions based on their needs and tastes. You can help provide a great variety of food for people in need!
You can do this project at any grocery store and it is appropriate for all ages.
How To Have a Food Pantry Shopping Trip
1. Plan your trip
This is a great event for a family or a small group to do together. Get some people together, pick a grocery store, and go shopping! We appreciate donations all year round, but especially during the summer when food drives tend to drop off.
2. Shopping List - we accept all nonperishable, non-expired food, but here are some ideas to get you started
Healthy options such as whole wheat, low sodium, and organic foods
Name brands to help show dignity and give options
Peanut and other nut butters
Canned tuna and chicken
Your favorite breakfast cereal
Toiletries such as paper products, shaving kits, and hygiene products which are not eligible for food stamps
Your favorite granola or energy bars
3. Drop it off at the Hope front desk!
