Currently, the pantry is in need of cereal, oatmeal, snack packs, juice and juice boxes, facial tissues, cleaning products, boxed milk, granola and cereal bars, coffee, crackers, cookies and personal care items like shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream and lotions. The pantry already has plenty of canned beans, canned soup, canned veggies, pasta and pasta sauce.
