Hancock County Food Pantry Tour

Michelle McPherson, Martie Crider, Steve and Vicky Emmons, and Dave Crider start their tour.
Members of the Greenfield Kiwanis toured the Hancock County Food Pantry as part of their meeting.  Groups of Kiwanians registered as a family of four persons.  Each family then went through the pantry, choosing from the available food, the amount allotted for a family of four.  Each family is permitted to have the following:
1 gallon of milk
1 dozen eggs
4 pasta/rice/noodle selections
1 box of 1% milk
2 boxes, Skillet meals
3 cans of beans
3 cans of fruit
2 cans pasta sauce
1 jar peanut butter
1 jar jelly
5 cans condensed soup
1 bag of breakfast cereal
1 pancake mix
1 bottle syrup
1 box saltine crackers
4 miscellaneous items (canned peppers, cake mixes, tuna, cornbread mixes, etc.)
2 meat selections
2 laundry items
4 rolls toilet paper
Bread products usually great amounts available
2 jars Ragu cheese sauce and 1 six pack of Gatorade (from manufacturer’s donations to 40,000 pounds of food)
This is the entire amount allowed for a family of four from the food pantry for a month.  Additional items may be available as specials but this is the normal monthly allotment.
