Help the South Brunswick Food Pantry with American Legion Post 401’s Food Drive

Area residents may drop off their non-perishable food donations at the American Legion Post Home, 148 Major Rd., Monmouth Junction, anytime after 1 p.m., 7 days a week.

“The food bank has a dire need for staples,” said Gary Cooper, Post 401 commander, “and they are out of many items. Last year our members, post visitors and residents were very generous during our food drive. This year we hope they will give even more because the need is greater.”

Items needed include: coffee, tea, juice boxes, water, Parmalot milk, vegetables, canned and boxed potatoes, rice, canned meats, beef stew, chili, canned and boxed pastas, cereal and oatmeal, boxed macaroni and cheese, boxed cake mixes and icing, pie crusts and filling, brownie mixes, muffin mix, and soups.

“We ask that everyone attending our Oldies Dance on Nov. 4, our karaoke dance on Nov. 18, or at the post for any reason this holiday season bring a donation with them,” Cooper added.
