Always a wonderful surprise when the PRIME truck delivers to us! This week we received cartons of pasta sauce, clam chowder and some dish detergent. These are always critically needed! Then, the bins at the food pantry had boxes of wonderful cereal, paper towels and some condiments. Thank you, all, for your kindness. All of these items are always appreciated and high on our "wish list".
The need for food continues to increase and our biggest distributor is facing staffing issues, so some of our most important protein items are likely to be unavailable, sometimes available at a high price, and/or packaged in bulk too large for our clients' freezers. The Lincoln Agricultural Commission is, again this summer, working with our local farmers. Waltzing Matilda Egg Farm, Codman Farm, Drumlin Farm and Hannan Healthy Food have been supplying us with their fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs. Kanner Orchard, growers of apples and peaches and Matlock Farm, the high quality corn producers will be donating in season. All of these farms supply us with incredible products that our clients rave about. This summer, we equal the best farm stand and this innovative program deserves applause for their innovative work! Land's Sake, in Weston, also, again this year, supplies us with great produce. And remember, Donelan's Supermarket, for years, has supplied us with bakery goods and houses a food bin for donations. Please support all of these wonderful businesses. The need increases. This week, alone, we signed up 3 new families, and remember, during the critical summer months, we feed clients with children who are home. Remember, when you are shopping, even one bottle of salad dressing, one box of cereal, one jar of pasta sauce, one can of tuna helps us to supply our many families. The blue bins are on the porch of the St. Joseph House, 142 Lincoln Road (rear). Monetary donations help us immensly. We are SVdP, P. O. Box 324, Lincoln, MA 01773. Thank you all. Karen Boyce
