• D300 FOOD PANTRY UPDATES: What is a "Monthly Challenge Item?" While we are grateful for any/all donations, these are the items you want your school to fill the bin up with during each month! If we receive these items from your school during the month, they count as DOUBLE POINTS for the competition. If a monetary donation is given it is FIVE TIMES the points!! MOST NEEDED ITEMS: Personal Hygiene (shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toilet paper, deodorant), Canned Fruit, Canned Chicken, Box Pasta, Pancake Mix, Syrup & Coffee. If you have any groups looking to VOLUNTEER, you can go ahead put them directly in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator, Julie Mclaughlin (jmclaughlin@d300foodpantry.org). General volunteers can always check out our available shifts via our website here: https://www.d300foodpantry.org/volunteer/ The Monthly Challenge Items for September are juice boxes and applesauce.  October will be boxed cereals.
