Food Pantry

Do you get the week-end newspaper that comes with coupon “pamphlets”? If you’re like me you probably use only a few of the coupons and then throw away or recycle the pamphlet. The Helping Hands Food Pantry, located on West Englewood Avenue uses those coupons to buy food for their clients. Whatever coupons they can’t use they make available to the clients to use.

WHAT TO DO: Put the coupon pamphlets in a plastic shopping bag. Please bring the shopping bag to the Food Pantry, accessible from the Glatt Express Parking lot (stand facing West Englewood Avenue in the parking lot–there is a walkway near the Moose Lodge. The Food Pantry is located to the left of the walkway–there are double glass doors at the entrance). Tie the shopping bag to the door handles and go away, knowing that you have helped out a worthy cause.

Ample Harvest

Gardeners who are harvesting more than they can use, can donate excess to a food pantry nearby that’s desperate for their help – and they should tell their neighbors about it too.  http://www.AmpleHarvest.org. Use baskets of whole fruit/vegetables instead of floral centerpieces at your next festive dinners and then donate it to a food pantry the next day – learn more at http://www.AmpleHarvest.org/holiday. Jewish themed study guide available at http://www.AmpleHarvest.org/JewishAnswer
