Our shelves are stripped bare! Please Help!
This is the appeal that Share, one of McLean's leading food pantries and general assistance organizations, sent out last week.
"This is an urgent appeal to all SHARE members for donations to the food pantry. Our shelves are stripped bare. Please pass this message to your friends and neighbors," said the Share appeal. "Food items can be dropped off during food room hours (Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9:30 until 12 noon), or in the after-hours bin, located next to our entrance on the side of McLean Baptist Church."
Established in 1969 by a coalition of religious and civic institutions, Share exists to meet the emergency needs of those in need in McLean, Great Falls, Pimmit Hills, and surrounding areas. That need is growing, even in McLean.
Items that we're completely out of:
peanut butter
grape or strawberry jelly or jam
white sugar
coffee
black tea
mayonnaise
cooking oil
chunky chicken soups (only)
100% juice
bars of soap
toothpaste
laundry detergent
Things that we will be out of by next week:
tuna fish
cereal
Full Disclosure: McLean Patch has donated to Share and will donate again to meet this latest appeal.
