This Saturday November 23rd, Leonia Scout Troops will be collecting donations for the Leonia Food Pantry from 9 am – 1 pm in front of American Legion Post #1 (399 Broad Ave). Please place your donations in bags or boxes so we can easily take them from your car when you arrive.

Financial contributions can also be accepted in the form of Shop-Rite gift cards or by check made out to St. John’s R.C. Church – please be sure to indicate ‘Food Pantry’ in the memo section of your check.

CRITICALLY needed items include: canned items (meaty soups, stews and chili, fruits, spinach, meats and fish, evaporate milk), dried beans, rice, sugar, cooking oil, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, cold cereal, oatmeal, applesauce, pancake mix and syrup, honey, cookies, saltines, creamy peanut butter, jelly, Ensure, Parmalat milk, decaf tea, regular and instant coffee, juice and juice boxes, dish and laundry detergent, household cleaning supplies, bath tissue, paper towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste.

The Leonia Girl Scouts remind you to please continue to include essential feminine hygiene products for women and girls in need. Products like sanitary pads and tampons are necessities and are often overlooked when considering items to donate.

Any support you can give to our food drive would be greatly appreciated by the local families in-need who rely on the help of their neighbors.

Thank you on behalf of Leonia Scouts and the Leonia Food Pantry!
