Johnstown Northridge Food Pantry needs your help

This food pantry in our neighborhood is need of donations. We'll be taking over some of our harvest later in the summer, but they need help now. Here is their message:

The Johnstown Northridge Food Pantry (website) needs some food. We had 100 families come in May, 96 in June and July has been busy too. Many are losing their unemployment because benefits have run out, some have had their married children and families move back home for one reason or another, the children are all home for three meals a day and other reasons.

We need jelly (but not peanut butter), canned potatoes, peas, tomatoes, fruit of all kinds, canned meat of any kind, muffin mix, soda crackers for soup, shampoo and dish soap, and anything else you can eat or drink. Thank you for any help you can give us. Nothing is too small or too large. Our hours at the pantry are at your convenience. Just call 740-924-2835.
