Highlands Community Ministries Requests Urgent Help to Stock Food Pantry
by Highland Baptist Church on October 30, 2025
| Neighbors are turning to Highlands Community Ministries for help more often. With SNAP benefits set not to renew next week for many households, we expect need to increase again. You can make an immediate difference by donating high-need items or giving online so we can purchase produce and protein in bulk. |
What Helps Most Right Now:
|
- Proteins: soups and chilis with meat, canned chicken, canned tuna.
- Breakfast: cereal, oatmeal, granola bars.
- Milk for cereal: shelf-stable boxed milk.
- Easy open packaging: pop-top lids are best for anyone without a can opener or kitchen access.
- Cooking basics: rice, pasta, pasta sauce, cooking oil.
- Seasonings and baking: salt, pepper, basic spices, sugar, flour.
- Comforts that matter: coffee and tea.
- Family staples: peanut butter and jelly.
- Household and personal care: dish soap, period products.
- Celebrations: cake mix and frosting for birthdays.
|
- Expired or opened items.
- Items that require ingredients many do not have on hand such as boxes that need fresh milk or butter only.
- Foods that are unlikely to be used such as very large restaurant cans or niche holiday items.
- Glass is accepted, but cans with pop-tops are far easier for many neighbors.
|
| We aim to offer choice, quality, and dignity. Please donate the same kinds of foods you would feed your own family. Smaller sizes are easier to carry for those walking or using transit. |
