Richards In August 1993, 103 families received received food from the Bowmanville Salvation Army Food Bank and now the cupboards are almost bare. "We. gave out a lot of food last month," said Isabelle Jones. Jones looks after the administration of the local food bank. She told The Independent much of what is needed is the usual foodstuffs. But, with school coming up, items that can be put into children's lunches would be a big boost. Items like single serving juices and small boxes of raisins would be helpful, helpful, she said. "We can use anything." Wieners and other types of mca are among the products required. The food bank will send families home with meat when it is available. "Other items needed are jars of peanut butter, cereal, canned meats like tuna, and macaroni and cheese dinners. Junior baby food with the little little pieces of food in it -- not the baby food is needed. Jones said the food bank always re ceives many requests by families for apple juice. The food bank also needs canned meat stews, packages of rice, gelatin dessert mixes, brown and white sugar, tea and coffee, and powdered milk. If people would rather give food gift certificates, Jones asks that they be "in small denominations for local stores." That way, if a family needs milk or disposable diapers, a gift certificate can be used. Of course, powdered milk is also needed at the food bank. Food donated to the local food bank can be dropped off at a number of locations in the Bowmanville area.
