Letter: Bluffton Food Pantry responds to inquiries
By Jami Lovell
Bluffton Food Pantry director
We have had a lot of community members reaching out to ask how they can help the Food Pantry. Here are some ways.
- Organize a food drive (non-persishable items)
- Organize a paper product drive (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues)
- Organize a drive for something specific such as:
- Hygiene items - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, women's sanitary items, etc
- Pet food drive
- Laundry detergent and dish soap drive
- Canned meat drive (this is a more expensive item and we go through a lot)
- Cereal drive
- Boxed meal drive (hamburger or tuna helper, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc.)
- Make a monetary donation to PO Box 52, Bluffton to help us purchase fresh meat, eggs and cheese each month
- Donate a few canned goods or other items at our drop off location in the first floor stairwell at Bluffton's Town Hall anytime!
- Adopt a family or individual for Christmas (email [email protected])
Items that we can always use at the food pantry are below. We currently have enough corn and green beans.

Canned meat Canned tuna Canned fruit Chunky soups Creamy peanut butter Jelly Pasta Pasta sauce (no glass, please) |
