The Salvation Army has announced that its food pantry at 2140 East 28th St. is running dangerously low.

The pantry staff alerted administrators that they are barely able to put together complete food boxes for families.

“We have odds and ends, cans here or there, but barely enough to put together three full meals in a food box,” said Sandy Leavell, director of Social Services for The Salvation Army. “We are desperately needing the community to donate food!”

The Salvation Army is asking the community to help and donate non-perishable food items. For a full list of items needed, please visit: http://csarmy.org/donate_drives.asp.
