Let’s help the Arlington Food Pantry keep helping
Arlington residents. Please bring a non-perishable
grocery donation to the Special Town Meeting Monday,
November 15. Donations will be accepted until 9:30.
Volunteers will consolidate packages and deliver them
to the Food Pantry.

What makes a good donation?
  * REGULAR SIZE PACKAGES. These things are going
    to single individuals and families. The Food
    Pantry doesn’t have the means to break down
    Costco or BJ’s specials.

  * EXPIRATION DATES MATTER. Except for personal
    (toothpaste, soap, shaving gear, etc.) and paper
    (paper towels, Kleenex, toilet tissue, etc.) goods,
    please avoid any foodstuffs that will have to be
    discarded soon.

  * The Pantry always needs
        Peanut butter           Jelly or jam
        Cereal                  Canned fruit & vegetables
        Canned meats            Coffee and tea
         (ham, chicken,         Spaghetti sauce
         salmon, tuna)          Pasta
        Rice                    Mac & cheese
        Beef stew               Soup
        Powdered milk & cocoa   Cereal
        Canned juices           Cookies & crackers
        Flour and sugar         Baking mixes
        Gelatin & pudding mix   Condiments (salad dressing,
        Paper goods (Kleenex,    mustard, relish, etc.)
         paper towels, toilet   Toiletries (dental items,
         tissue)                 soap, shampoo, etc.)

It doesn’t have to be a whole bag of groceries. If
everyone brings a few items, together we can make
really big difference for a great many neighbors.

For questions, or to help with the drive, please contact

Thanks very much.
