Maggie received an email from the People’s Resource Center in downtown Wheaton about some urgent needs for their food pantry. Last time I posted some of these needs a number of you responded by donating food to the pantry. Thanks! Here’s the latest information:

We are in urgent need of food at the People’s Resource Center Food Markets. We are currently facing shortages in many of our staple products such as rice, peanut butter, canned soup, cake mixes, canned fruits and canned pastas. This is traditionally the busiest time of the year at our Food Markets so any shortage of food is very hard on our clients. If you can help, please bring donations to the Wheaton Food Market between 8 am-4 pm Monday through Friday and Saturdays 8 am to Noon. Thank you.
