Pittsford Food Cupboard Breakfast Shelf Minimize

The need continues through the summer, and supplies at the PFC are not as plentiful while people are away on vacation.  Please remember to bring your non-perishable breakfast food items for the food cupboard.  Items especially helpful are:  breakfast cereal, powdered milk, pancake mix, and canned juices.  Christ Church is one of the food cupboard's primary sources of food for their shelves, and all our donations are greatly appreciated!
