CRAINE HOUSE'S
PANTRY IS GETTING PRETTY LOW

like to keep a well rounded food pantry for emergencies, and new residents. As
the holidays draw near we especially want to make sure all of the families we
serve have plenty of food! Ideal items are of course those things that are
non-perishable such as canned fruit, vegetables, and soups. What is also
wonderful to have on hand are full meals, especially those that only require
water. Some examples are box dinners, noodles and sauce, pancake mix (that only
needs water) and syrup, oatmeal, etc… | Please contact Lori Murray,
Administrative Assistant, John P. Craine House, Inc. | 317-925-2833
