Donate food items for Thanksgiving baskets

LLCC Student Life is putting out a call to action — asking faculty and staff to help build Thanksgiving baskets for the LLCC Food Pantry. While the primary purpose of the food pantry during the year is to provide ready-to-eat meals for our students, this time of year the food pantry is looking specifically for items that can help an LLCC student provide a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for their family. These specialty items will be collected through Thursday, Nov. 15. Students that are interested in requesting a basket, can come to the food pantry during regular hours to fill out the form.

Here is a list of items that are needed. Please make sure these items are non-perishable.

  • Pumpkin pie or other pie filling
  • Graham cracker pie crusts
  • Canned vegetables (green beans, corn)
  • Canned sweet potatoes
  • Canned cranberry sauce
  • Canned fruit
  • Cream of chicken, vegetable, celery
  • Boxed mash potatoes
  • Boxed stove top stuffing
  • Boxed macaroni and cheese

The food pantry is also in need of the following ready-to-eat items to help get us through the end of the semester:

  • Juice packs
  • Tuna with crackers
  • Chicken with crackers
  • Oatmeal
  • Snack crackers – smaller serving pouches to go with tuna and chicken pouches
  • Toaster pastries (i.e., Pop-Tarts)
