Hunger Sucks Food Rocks

I think the title says it all and so don’t our wristbands.

Tomorrow we will be at the Canterbury Fair with our…

  • “Hunger Sucks Food Rocks” wristbands in green, blue and yellow ($1.00 each)
  • Teddy Bears with T-shirts that read “Proud Support of the Loudon Food Pantry” ($7.99 each)
  • Keychains that are handcrafted ($1.00)
  • Grocery Lists that have nice sturdy backs ($1.00)
  • Macy’s Shop for a Cause Savings Passes ($5.00)  We keep the $5 and you get the savings on Friday August 26, Saturday August 27 and Sunday August 28.  Just in time for back to school shopping, update your wardrobe, get new towels, get some new kitchen appliances (my personal favorite) and more!

Everything sold is while supplies last.

But selling product is not our main function at the fair.  We have information about our pantry and other services people may need.  We can qualify you on the spot and also book your first appointment to get food.

Donations will also be accepted.  There is a current list of items we need to the right of this post.

Most of all, the weather is suppose to be great, the fair is always a good time, so let’s just have fun!

See you there!

Got Drugs?

Do you have outdated or unneeded medications?  Did you know that throwing it down the toilet or in the sink causes pollution?  Also, easy access to a variety of unused medications in the home leads to increased availability and sometime misuse.

So, how do you dispose of these medications?

You can visit your local police department to anonymously discard  unused or unwanted medications.  Not all police departments have drop off boxes.  There are 42 recognized drop boxes throughout New Hampshire.   Click Rx_Drop_Box_Listing for that list.  If the police department you want to go to is not on the list, please call before visiting.

Or safely dispose of the medications yourself.  Don’t know how?  Check this out!  It will tell you how to dispose of unwanted medication safely.

Just say no to outdated, unneeded and unwanted prescription medications

and

dispose of them safely!

Boxed Mashed Potatoes & Potato Sides

We are really in need of boxed mashed potatoes and boxed potato sides.  Boxed mashed potatoes are a low to no sodium product that is versatile.  People coming in for food can use them plain, dress them up with herbs, use them for Sheppard’s pie, etc.  Potato sides give a nice variety to plain potatoes.

I realize that fresh is always best but it is not always possible.   Your help is always appreciated!
