And boy howdy does that ever stretch the dollars! Not all food pantries can handle frozen food but ours has just received a freezer donation and they have 2 regular sized refrigerators. Applying for a grant to get commercial size fridge and freezer. I love unpacking from food drives. I always smile when I see donations of cookies and crackers and personal care stuff. I can tell someone put lots of thought into their donation. I think pudding cups are great! And as we also serve many elderly folks, small portion items are great.

At Christmas I like to include all kinds of treats that work for Stocking stuffers too. Including candy canes.
