A special shout out to Barbara Duncan, who did a great job of…

  • November Food Pantry Needs

Both are very important for their Thanksgiving meals, and many people often overlook donating them. Evaporated milk can be purchased at Save-a-Lot for $0.89 a can, but you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere too. We…
