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])
