Hello All,
September is Hunger Action Month, Feeding America network’s annual nationwide campaign designed to inspire people to take action and raise awareness about food insecurity. I have program handouts and calendar events calling out Hunger Action Month encouraging people to donate food to JPL. The paper handouts have a most-needed at the Johnston Partnership shopping list that includes the following:
dried or canned beans, soup, canned pineapple in juice, canned mandarin oranges, brown rice, diapers size 6 and 7 and pullups, toilet paper, bar soap or body wash, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, dish soap, laundry detergent and cleaning products.
When people bring in food or personal health items, please put them in the plastic bin under the Circ Desk behind self-checkout where we normally put donated food items. I will keep my eye on the bin and will run items to the Partnership when needed. Please ask me if you have questions. Thanks!
