WHEELER ARMY AIRFIELD — The Armed Services YMCA, here, is seeking community donations of canned goods for its Food for Families program.
The ASYMCA supports the Food for Families program through food pantries at its Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Marine Corps Base Hawaii and Wheeler locations.
Over 20 families a month rely on the food pantry at the Wheeler branch, said Therese Szatkowski, the branch’s director.
The Wheeler food pantry, located on site, provides emergency food and groceries for Soldiers and family members in need – at no cost and with no questions asked.
The staples in the pantry are especially helpful to young Soldiers with young children to support, Szatkowski added.
She said that she currently has enough canned vegetables to meet the demand of her clients and is asking for donations of the following non-perishable items:
•Rice,
•Pasta,
•Crackers,
•Cereal,
•Powdered milk,
•Mac’n’ cheese,
•Juice boxes and
•Baby food.
By donating, you are helping the ASYMCA fulfill its mission of serving the families of those who serve the nation.
