The season of giving, collecting continues for the Christian Cupboard and tea, we want all of that. So, HEB runs good sales and so does Walmart and so remember, we are open all year round. We are not open everyday but we are open all year round and we service as much as we can," said Lee.
By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Seguin) -- It might be the day after Christmas, but it doesn't mean that the giving has to stop. In fact, volunteers at the Christian Cupboard, Seguin's food pantry, are hoping to continue the spirit of giving at least through the end of its holiday drive scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 31.
Other items needed at the food pantry include recycled bags, egg cartons, detergent, fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, milk and eggs. Lee says even items such as sugar and flour can be donated. She says these items will be divided up by volunteers and provided to families.
Regina Lee, the director for the Christian Cupboard, says she wants to continue what she describes as a great year of giving and receiving for the local food pantry. She says when it comes to food, the cupboard will take it all. "At this point, oatmeal is nice, cereal, actually we don't buy jelly but jelly is good, soup, Ramen and even if you get those free items at HEB and don't want them, we'll take it -- even ice cream, we have freezers so we will take it. Don't let anything you get be wasted because we will take it and remember, soap, shampoo, deodorant, mouthwash, that kind of stuff, we will take that too," said Lee. Lee says the giving season has been incredible for the
cupboard. However, she says because people have to eat everyday, the need for food is everyday. Lee says individuals can still help the cupboard even if they are away from home or busy
preparing for the new year. "So if you are on vacation and you are in a hotel, those little shampoo bottles and soaps and those things that you don't want and don't
like, bring them to us because we will use them and so the last couple of days of the year and you are looking and thinking 'I had too much cake, pie and everything else and I'm
going on a diet,' clear out those shelves. We'll take that mayonnaise and mustard and ketchup, those hot dogs and everything you are not supposed to have especially that sugar and coffee
