During the summer, people look for quick and easy meals that won’t keep them inside cooking in the hot weather.   This month the JFS Food Pantry is focusing on items which can be used in or on salads.  This includes the following non-perishable items: salad dressings, canned beets, sauerkraut, canned olives, cannellini beans, dark red kidney beans, chick peas, pigeon peas, canned potatoes, canned green beans, canned corn, pasta (for a pasta salad); solid white tuna or canned chicken.

Donations can be dropped off at the JFS Food Pantry, 1440 Whalley Avenue, New Haven throughout the month on Mondays – Thursdays between 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. or you can call (203) 397-0796 to schedule an alternative time. Questions can be directed to shagan@jfsnh.org
