The South County Food Pantry distributes food to needy families and individuals in Venice, Nokomis, Laurel and Osprey. The number of people needing help is growing. Supporting the Pantry is part of UUCOV's Social Action work.
The following non-perishable food items are needed: pasta (1 lb bag or boxes), spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, jelly, canned vegetables, canned fruit, fruit juices (large size - apple, grape, cranberry, etc), pork and beans, canned fish (tuna and salmon), canned spaghetti or ravioli, canned chili, canned beef or chicken stew, macaroni and cheese, canned tomato products, rice (1 lb bags), canned soup, cake mix, frosting, cereals (hot or cold). Bar soap, toilet tissue, shampoo and dishwashing detergent are also appreciated and so are financial contributions.
Leave your contributions in the box under the table at the rear of the sanctuary at church and they will be taken to the Pantry at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Or visit the Pantry yourself. The Pantry is open Monday thru Friday from 9 to 12.
