What Should We Give?
The Northfield Township Food Pantry has received tremendous community support meeting the needs of our residents. Unfortunately, there are still significant challenges simply sourcing enough food in appropriate household sizes.
Some of the most important items that are difficult to stock in sufficient numbers are canned proteins such as tuna, chicken, salmon, beef stew, pasta with meat i.e. SpaghettiOs, and beans; soup; rice and pasta mixes and shelf-stable potatoes.
