Thanks to the fillers of the Food Bank basket One day last week I had the occasion to go through our Food Bank basket to make up a bag to deliver to someone in need. I was so grateful to find a variety of "good" food; food that would sustain, not only boxes of jello or the rejects from our own pantries. I took a bag of peanut butter, loaf of bread, cans of tuna, good breakfast cereal and a carton of almond milk, chili, canned potatoes, etc. There are, of course, suggestions for the Food Bank every month to fill their shelves. But it happens occasionally that someone needs to take from what we ourselves have here and I was glad to have been able to put together a variety of healthy and substantive foods which would have made several good meals. Thank you! Gail+
