I posted the two local county food pantry lists for a couple of reasons.

First, some of my readers may need assistance in this way and not know where to turn for help. It is my hope that these listings will serve that purpose.

Second, when you get freebies and deals, share with your local pantry! They can really use all the help they can get right now. Get those free samples and share them. Buy the “free” cereal and pasta on the deal (when there is one) and donate it! Many pantries have freezers to store deals you get on ice cream, meat, etc.
