This is “NO Can June”! During the month of June, many of us will be busy planning and packing for vacation. Whether off to parts unknown or just heading into St. Louis for a stay at the Moonrise, one requirement is to pack light. Nobody wants to lug a huge suitcase around an airport or into a hotel lobby; the best wheeled luggage doesn’t help at all when you need to haul the suitcase up onto a bed to get items from it.

In the spirit of packing light, we’re dispensing with canned items for the month of June. Instead, bring boxes! Some options are pancake mix, cornbread mix, pasta, crackers, macaroni and cheese, breakfast cereal, granola bars, and beans and rice mixes.
