DONATE FOOD & OTHER ITEMS
|
|
The food pantry of Lutheran Social Services of Nevada relies heavily on food
donations to fill our inventory and allow us to distribute as much needed
food to struggling Nevadans as possible. The community's generous donations
enable us to meet the growing need for nutritious perishable and
non-perishable foods.
Please note that Derrick Felder, Lead Case Manager, is now the contact for
food pick-up scheduling. He can be reached at derrick@lssnv.org or
702-639-1730.

Our theme for October is "Autumn Harvestfest". Suggested items are potatoes (fresh or canned), canned green beans, corn, peas, beets, sauerkraut, egg noodles, gravy (mixes or in a jar), vienna sausage (or other non-perishable sausage), apple juice, applesauce, and gingerbread.
As we remember the needy at the holiday, our theme for November is "Counting our Blessings". Non-perishable food items appropriate for the feast table are most welcome: canned green beans, corn, yams; gravy, cranberry sauce, instant potatoes, stuffing mix, boxes of jell-o and pudding, coffee, tea, and canned broths (beef, vegetable, chicken).
WE ESPECIALLY NEED TURKEY DONATIONS FOR OUR MAJOR THANKSGIVING DISTRIBUTION!
