❤️ A LITTLE PANTRY HEART-TO-HEART ❤️

Our pantry shelves have been getting a little bare lately. We’re currently out of SpaghettiOs, Pop-Tarts, applesauce, and several other items our neighbors count on.

And while we can joke that the SpaghettiOs have officially “left the building” 😂… the truth is, these everyday items mean so much more than what’s printed on the package.

They mean a meal for a child.
They mean one less thing for a parent to worry about.
They mean a family knowing their community cares. ❤️

If you’re doing a little Amazon shopping, would you take a moment to look at our “Wanted Items” on our Amazon page? We’ve listed some of the things we need most right now.

Every single donation matters. Whether it’s a box of Pop-Tarts, a can of SpaghettiOs, or something else from our list, you’re helping us keep our shelves stocked and our doors open to the people who need us.

You may see a box arrive at our pantry, but we see a neighbor being helped. ❤️

Thank you for loving our community, for sharing what you can, and for reminding our neighbors that they are never alone.

The SpaghettiOs may be gone… but with your help, they won’t be gone for long. 🥰

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE PANTRY SHELVES 🚨

Dear Friends,

It’s us… the SpaghettiOs and Pop-Tarts.

We regret to inform you that we have LEFT THE BUILDING.

Our friends on the shelves are disappearing too, and frankly… things are getting a little awkward in here. 👀

So we’re officially putting out an SOS — Save Our Shelves! 😂

If you’re doing some Amazon shopping, please check out the “Wanted Items” section on our Food Pantry Amazon page. We’ve updated it with some of the things we need most right now.

Every donation, big or small, helps us keep the shelves stocked and ready for the families in our community. ❤️

So if you happen to see a box of SpaghettiOs or a pack of Pop-Tarts calling your name…

DON’T IGNORE THEM.

They have a family to feed.

Thank you for always showing up for our pantry and for our neighbors. We appreciate you more than you know!

🛒 Shop. Donate. Restock. Repeat.

So often folks reach out about pets and vaccines. This is a local upcoming event with very reasonable costs.

🚨🚨 PANTRY SHELF EMERGENCY 🚨🚨

Our shelves have officially started giving us the side-eye. 😂

We are OUT of SpaghettiOs, Pop-Tarts, and several other much-loved pantry favorites! And apparently, the pantry crew has decided that “just magically restock itself” is not a thing. 🙃

So… we’re putting out the WANTED LIST!

If you’re doing some Amazon shopping, take a peek at our Amazon Wishlist and see what we’re currently in need of. The “Wanted Items” section is updated with the things we need most!

Every box that shows up on our doorstep = one more item on our shelves = one more family we can help. ❤️

Think of it as grocery shopping for your neighbors. 🛒

Thank you for continuing to keep our little pantry stocked and our community cared for! We truly couldn’t do it without you.

👉 Check out our Amazon Wishlist and help us send those empty shelves packing!

💚 A BIG THANK YOU, MASCOUTAH! 💚

We want to send a HUGE thank you to Paper Moon, LLC and everyone who contributed to the Market Plant Sale! Your generosity helped make it possible for us to bring in frozen vegetables for the Mascoutah Food Pantry—and they arrived this morning!

And let us tell you… they were a BIG hit! 🙌The freezer is already looking a little happier, and our pantry families are going to be putting those veggies to good use.

We are so grateful for every person who bought a plant, donated, shared the sale, or simply supported the effort. It truly takes a community to keep our pantry shelves stocked, and Mascoutah continues to show up in the BEST ways!

Thank you, Paper Moon, and thank you to everyone who helped turn plants into pantry goodness! 🌱➡️🥦

We appreciate you more than you know! 💚

🍔 SLOPPY JOE SATURDAY! 🍔

What’s for dinner? SL🫶PPY JOES! 😋

If you’re out grocery shopping this weekend, consider grabbing a can or two of sloppy joe sauce (Manwich-style!) for the Mascoutah Food Pantry. It’s an easy, family-friendly meal that our pantry families can turn into a delicious dinner!

And the best part? 🛒 You can grab it while you’re already shopping at our favorite local grocer, Betty Ann Market, and drop it right into the pantry donation cart—no extra trip required!

Can’t make it to Betty Ann? You can also use our donation boxes outside the pantry or bring donations by:
📅 Tuesdays & Saturdays
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM

So this Sloppy Joe Saturday, throw a little extra in your cart and help us keep our shelves stocked! ❤️

Thank you, Mascoutah, for always showing up for your neighbors. We are so grateful for YOU! 🥰

Out shopping this weekend? We’ve got a pantry favorite!

We love sloppy joes! 😋 (You know… the Manwich kind!) They’re an easy, hearty meal that families can make in a pinch—and they’re always appreciated at the pantry.

And here’s the best part: you can pick some up at our favorite local grocer, Betty Ann Market, and drop it right into the food pantry donation cart while you’re already shopping! No extra trip needed.

You can also drop donations in our donation boxes outside the pantry, or bring them by during pantry hours:
📅 Tuesdays & Saturdays
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM

Every can, every box, every bag, and every donation makes a difference.

We are SO thankful for our amazing community and the continued support you show the Mascoutah Food Pantry. You all make it possible to keep our shelves stocked and our neighbors supported!
