Church Food Pantry Ideas

So I have an opportunity to get my food pantry ideas in front of a pantry in it's baby stages for consideration. I am super excited. And of course, all my files I had previously made for such an occasion are on my currently crashed laptop so I have made a fast redo of what I can recall this morning. I am going to next test each batch I think...to make sure my servings are accurate. Then I have a paper that goes with the box with "Meal Ideas" on creative ways to make meals using the box contents. I LOVE this idea also because you can give a list to those who want to donate items, and the recipient gets a complete "kit" . It makes it super easy for the recipient, the staff, and the givers. Win, win, win!
