Willowbrook Food Pantry Update 10/10/25
Hi Friends,
It feels like fall is really here and we are thinking about the holidays. We are taking sign-ups for Thanksgiving boxes this month.
I'm having to buy some meat every week from our local stores. Doing that eats up the budget pretty quickly. Hopefully, that will not be a forever thing.
In September, we helped 194 families, 900 people. We had our biggest year in 2024. We helped over 10,500 people, up from 8500 in 2023. We really appreciate your support.
We appreciate the people who continually drop off the plastic bags. It means a lot to us that you take the time to do this. Thank you. We have been informed that we cannot repack eggs. So we no longer need egg cartons.
We are very low on Soups, peanut butter, cereals, and tuna. If you can donate a couple, that would really help us. In some stores, you have to buy 4 or 5 items to get the good price, which is sometimes cheaper than buying 2. We would appreciate the extras.
We are very thankful for the Sherwood Target store. They donate to us every week. They donate over 5000 lbs of food most months, and a lot of our meat comes from them.
The items that I think are of greatest value to us from each store (when there is a clear standout) are highlighted with bold text. Also, some prices of items not advertised may be out of date.
We are lowest on Peanut Butter, Tuna, Soups, Cereals, Pasta Sauce, Rice-a-roni, Crackers, canned Corn, Sugar, Juice.
