TEAM TINKER FOOD PANTRY EXPANDS HOURS TO MEET GROWING DEMAND
The Team Tinker Food Pantry at Tinker Air Force Base is serving an average of 40 families per day, with numbers expected to rise as Oklahoma SNAP benefits expired on Nov. 1. To accommodate families, the pantry will add an evening session from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The pantry is in need of donations and support from the community. Retirees will no longer receive food directly. Instead, they will receive a list of local food banks for assistance. High-need items include: • Vegetables such as green beans, corn and carrots • Starches such as ramen noodles, rice, macaroni and cheese and Hamburger Helper • Baking items including flour, sugar, syrup and pancake mix • Fruits such as canned fruit, applesauce and fruit cocktail • Pantry staples including spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, broth, evaporated milk and peanut butter • Soups
