Food Pantry lists needs While all non-perishable foods are welcome at any time by the Back Mountain Food Pantry, the greatest needs cur- rently are for canned stews and meats, canned fruits and vege- tables, peanut butter and jelly, canned spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, pudding mixes, Jell-0, pancake mix and syrup, cake mixes, cereal, sugar and rice. Due to the generosity of Back Mountain residents, the food pantry was able to help dozens of families during the cold and snowy months. Without the supplies of food at the pantry, many families would have been forced to choose between food and fuel, and many of our elder- ly residents would have been forced to choose between food and their medications. Individuals or groups wish- ing to donate food may call the food pantry at 696-2917 for information or to arrange a mutually convenient time for volunteers on duty to receive the food.
