Item of the Month for June: Canned Beans

As you know, we have a Full Choice model at the Food Pantry, where our clients can choose items that best fulfill the needs of their household. We buy food in bulk from the Westchester Food Bank, but not all the items we’d like to offer are always available.

With the full choice model we have learned that our clients are more likely to choose canned or dried beans than other high-protein foods such as peanut butter. One of the advantages of the full choice model is gaining this sort of insight into the best way to provide a “balanced selection” for our clients.

When we suggest an “item of the month,” it’s not just some suggestion from a rotating calendar, it’s actually something that has not been easily available from Feeding Westchester.

Noting the item of the month and bringing in some supplies can help the pantry offer as wide a variety of foods as possible. There are donation bins behind the Christian Education building.

Of course all non-perishable items are welcome. If you would like to make a food donation, please note:

  • Non-Perishable FOOD Only
  • NO Food with expired dates on the packages.
  • Donate the quality of food you would serve to your own family.
  • Online contributions to the Food Pantry are also most welcome. You can find more information, including our distribution schedule on our Food Pantry Page.

Thank you!
