Eileen Schopp, a volunteer of 15 years with the Perinton Food Shelf, reached out to area churches recently to share, “I have never seen our stock so low. Please consider having a food drive in your neighborhood or business. We average close to feeding 30-40 people per week and give them at least a week’s worth of groceries.”
There is a desperate need for the following: bottled juice (64 oz), coffee, tea, cookies, brownie and cake mixes, frosting, cereal, pancake mix, stuffing, gravy, rice mixes, boxed mashed potatoes and potato mixes, canned peaches, fruit cocktail, jars of applesauce, tuna, salad dressing, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, canned beef stew, soup, ramen noodles, baked beans, pork and beans, paper towels, tissue, and toilet paper.
The food shelf uses monetary donations to purchase meat and dairy products.
Donations may be dropped off at the Perinton Community Center (around the back of the building), the Fairport Public Library, and many area churches.
PPC collects donations in bins located in the narthex. Let’s all help feed and care for members of our community by supporting this mission!
