Most needed items include:
Canned green beans
Canned corn
Chicken Broth
Cream soup
Cranberry sauce
Gravy – can, pouch or bottle
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes – pouch or box
Canned Yams
Olives/Pickles
Box muffin or bread mix

Care products, such as toilet paper, bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste, razors and
laundry detergent, are also welcome as these items are always in high demand.
Bring your donations to an upcoming meeting. No need to mark or bag your
donations in a particular way as the pantry volunteers will assemble
the holiday bags for distribution.
If not attending a Hooker meeting in person, donations can be dropped off at the following locations: Winn-Dixie, V.F.W., American Legion, Moose, Elks, Stonegate Bank, Matlacha Post Office or the Pine Island Food Pantry at OLMM church.
Visit pineislandfoodpantry.org to learn more.
Pantry is accepting new clients, so if you know of anyone on the island who needs food now or for the holidays, please encourage them to stop by during their open hours, Monday and Thursday, 8:30- 10:30 am at OLMM, 12175 Stringfellow Road in Bokeelia. Pre registration for holiday meals will be in October.
Thank you for ensuring everyone on the island has joyous celebrations this year!
