Priority Staples -- What Grocery Pantries Need:
- All grocery/food pantries need similar food staples for their clients, just like you keep certain staples "on hand" to feed your family. While these may vary due to dietary needs and cultural tastes, these PRIORITY STAPLES are:
non-perishable canned products such as vegetables, soups and entrees like chili
non-perishable milk products peanut butter cooking oil baking mix/pancake mix
beans canned fruits fruit juices
As in your home, pantries prefer the most nutritious product possible for their clients
and prefer to receive products and fresh produce. This includes whole grains, high fiber, low sodium, no added sugar
and in various sizes to meet the needs of individuals and families.
