I generally shop the outside aisles of the store--fresh produce, meats, dairy, bakery--not so much the inside aisles where there is more processed foods. Then I was trying to find things that were easy to prepare, that possibly a child could open and fix, or that required few additional ingredients.And things for breakfast, lunch, dinner. And then some just plain fun stuff like hot chocolate, cookies. I don't know how well we did, but it was certainly an interesting experience. Bless you for volunteering all those years!

I understand the dilemma. Many people who are forced to use a pantry really don't know how to cook. I served people who didn't know what to do with flour, raw potatoes or fresh garden squash. It's one of the reasons they struggle so to get on their feet, because they don't know how to cook, they waste a lot of the food budget they do have. But still we give, trying to give advice & cooking suggestions when we can & they're willing to receive it. <br /><br />I've also been on the receiving end of food pantries as a child I do understand just how grateful you are for anything at all edible.<br /><br />May there always be generous people willing to give & may those in need find the courage they need to get back up & keep going.
