Halloween and The Food Pantry

I am so excited!  I know this is a bellies and babies blog but this post isn’t exactly about that.  This year on Halloween I am having an event with Val, a local hairdresser who caters to kids–Shearz for Kids–on the Silas Deane Highway in Rocky Hill.   Starting at 11:00am until who knows when…

I will be at Shearz, it will be decorated with a really cool Halloween set and I will photograph anyone who comes in and brings a non-perishable item for the Rocky Hill Food Pantry.  You will get a copy of the photo and the food pantry will have stocked shelves!

I met with a gentleman who is incharge of the food pantry and he tells me there are some hot items that they have trouble keeping in stock.

• canned fruit (all kinds)
• canned corn is a huge favorite (they have lots of peas- not a big favorite)
• tuna
• stews (they get lots of soup but very little stew)
• sauces for pasta (they get lots of pasta but not much to put on top)
• All kinds of paper products like: toilet paper, tissues, paper towels and napkins
• toiletries such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, mouthwash and feminine products
• Also at this time of year they will accept fresh fruits and vegetables
• cereals all kinds
• rice

Bring your NON-EXPIRED  (that’s very important) non-perishable food item to Shears on Halloween.  Wear your costume (or not) and have your photo taken with a very cool possibly scary set.  You get a copy of your photo as well as candy and have lots of fun helping out other people in your town who need your help!  If you want more information or to volunteer your time or talent to this event please call me at 402-0394 I’d be happy to put you to work!!
