Update for next week

Hi!

This afternoon, we had a meeting and took inventory of the food contributed for Helping Hands and discussed moving forward with adding kids. We've decided to set a goal of adding an additional 20 kids to the program in the next couple of weeks.  This is a pretty big step, as it will more than double the amount of kids receiving aid.  However, the need is there, and the donations have been more than sufficient so far thanks to your support.  We are grateful for what you've done, and hopeful that you'll keep it up!  Each week we strive to provide a balanced menu of meals and snacks to get the kids through the weekend.  Following are the items that we are beginning to run low on:

Macaroni and Cheese
Ravioli/beefaroni
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Crackers
Oatmeal

We've noticed that the price of peanut butter is really going up.  If anyone is aware of a great coupon or a sale on peanut butter somewhere, please post it in the comments!
As previously mentioned, reusable bags are always welcome, as the kids sometimes forget to bring them back.

Thanks so much-we will keep you posted on the progress!
