SSC is teaming up with St Jude’s Food Pantry to provide a Thanksgiving meal for our brothers and sisters in Wilmington who might not otherwise have a feast to share! Here is the shopping list:

Fresh whole chicken or small ham
Fresh potatoes – white and/or sweet
Fresh vegetables – broccoli, green beans, collard greens, carrots, kale, etc or any combination
Fresh whole onion
Canned cranberry sauce
Stovetop stuffing mix
Dinner rolls
Butter

Plus as many of these items in addition to the meal:
Cooking oil (not olive oil)
Bagged salad and dressing
Eggs
Fresh fruit – bananas, apples, oranges, etc

You might notice a theme above…FRESH is the word…except for a few items. It will be a great surprise because they rarely get fresh food. And almost never do they get butter and cooking oil. Their clients do get plenty of desserts, plus many are diabetic and cannot eat sweets. So, we’ll skip desserts this year.

Arrive at St. Jude’s, 19 N 26th Street (near the corner of Market and 26th) between 8-8:30am on Tuesday, November 25th. Due to the number of items that need refrigeration we cannot collect your donations ahead of time. If you are unable to get there on Tuesday morning, call a friend to coordinate your delivery. Or you can always offer cash and we’ll shop for you. We are a small but mighty community!

Many, many thanks for your generosity. YOU make a difference!
