Our campus food bank is busy at the beginning of a term as students put financial resources into texts and other school supplies. So while our food bank was full in early January, more recently it is looking bare. Tuna, peanut butter, cereal, crackers, salt, pasta, and sauces, granola bars and treats ... all are needed these days. Also we have an offer of eggs but have been asked to collect egg cartons. Why not drop off your empty cartons so someone else can have a full one? Food bank usage varies each month. Often we see 15-20 per month, some repeat visitors and some first-time, one-time users.
