Good morning from my family to yours! Whatever happens this November, let's tackle it together, as a united, loving, gracious community!

We have received some great donations over the past week, but the coming need (in November and beyond) will be great. Right now, we need canned meats (such as spam, tuna, chicken, and sardines) more than anything else. THANKS SO MUCH! And thank you to the folks at Indivisible for creating this video to raise awareness about the Lil' Pantry as a resource for those in need in Knox County.

Did you know that a can of soda can replace eggs AND the oil in many boxed cake mixes?

The carbonation in the soda provides leavening, helping the cake rise and become fluffy, while the sugary liquid replaces moisture and fat. Mix the contents of a 12-ounce can of soda into the cake mix and bake according to the box directions.

* * Orange soda + Vanilla cake mix: Creates a "Creamsicle" flavor.
* * Root beer + Vanilla cake mix: Gives a "Root Beer Float" flavor.
* * Cherry Coke + Devil's Food cake mix: Results in a "Black Forest" taste.
* * Sprite + Lemon cake mix: A classic combination.

We are doing our best to stock up for the intense needs ahead. When donating in the coming weeks, focus on essentials that will help an elderly person or a family with children go the distance (beans, flour, rice, peanut butter, etc.). Review the list of needs on the Lil' Pantry website and consider each one from the perspective of trying to sustain for long periods. Thank you for the ongoing support!

Popcorn is a healthy snack that is a perfect donation to the Lil' Pantry. When you donate a box, we break it apart and put out individual packets to spread the love!

A cup of plain popped popcorn contains only 31 calories, but it's high in fiber. The fiber content helps you feel full and satisfied longer. And popcorn is a 100% whole-grain snack that is a good source of antioxidants.
