We also always need peanut butter, canned or easy-open meats (chicken, tuna fish, ham, etc.) Also, canned chili and protein soups that are easy to transport and simple to prepare. These items are ideal for families who do not have access to a stove for cooking, as they can be heated in a microwave.
📢 CALLING ALL COMMUNITY PARTNERS! 🤝 Let's come together and make a difference in the lives of those in need! 🌟
The unfortunate reality is that many children in our area are facing food insecurity, and we believe that together, we can alleviate some of their burdens and bring smiles to their faces. Download this brochure and flyer to collect needed items for the weekend backpack program! If you would like a cobranded flyer with your company logo please email Sheila at sheila@erinsangels.com.
If you would like to shop on your own and purchase any of these items they can be dropped off at the elementary school main office during school hours.

Join Sheila Dion, Community Educator at Erin's Angels, for a Lunch & Learn about food insecurity. The session will discuss the magnitude of food insecurity in CNY, food-assistance resources available throughout the area, and ways to advocate for food justice. Attendees will leave the presentation with an increased understanding of the problem of food insecurity, knowledge of SNAP and other food-assistance programs, and action steps they can take to support a future in which all people have the food they need to lead healthy lives.
Please don’t forget to bring your lunch!
Comments from previous presentations:
"I think that the empathy she displayed is an example of what one should aim for in life. Her kindness and dedication will forever be something that I will think about as what true kindness really is. In the future, I will apply this to remain kind and empathetic to patients and do all that I can for those who need. She is a reminder that the answer to the thought "well what can 1 person do," is actually quite a lot."
"Sheila was inspirational. It makes me want to do something in my neighborhood" "
"I really admire what she is doing for the kids"
"Her story of standing in the rain selling candles for something she was so passionate about really said a lot about what you need to do to make a difference"
"What a great story of seeing a problem and taking action. She's impressive"
"Sheila's presentation about thinking of little details like anonymity to make it a success was a learning lesson for me. Thank you."
"Her passion was inspirational"
Sheila's talk was inspirational and informative. I've been thinking of doing something in my community and hearing what she did, makes it seem possible"
