Stoughton's Personal Care Pantry

By -
When I taught my Coupon Class at the Stoughton Public Library, I had a few people ask me for more details about this. It's really called Personal Essentials Pantry and is through the Watershed Community Church. 

Who can use the pantry?

The Personal Essentials Pantry offers the essentials of personal and household hygiene to all individuals and families in need. The services are free; you don’t have to be registered with any agency; there’s no huge pile of paperwork to be filled out. If you are at or below the federally-approved DCFS income limits, you’re eligible for help from the Pantry.
You’re welcome whether you’re a single adult or a household of adults or a household with kids.

What items will be available?

Because our inventory is computer-managed, you may visit whenever you need, as often as you need, as many times as you need. (This doesn’t mean that you can get every product you want every time you come; but you should be able to get every product as often as it’s needed: product lifespans are adjusted for family size and normal product use.)
We can’t always guarantee that we have every item on the shopping list, but we try to have:
  • toilet paper
  • laundry detergent
  • dish soap
  • all-purpose cleaner
  • deodorant
  • toothbrushes & toothpaste
  • feminine hygiene products
  • shampoo & conditioner
  • body soap
  • diapers
  • baby wipes

When will the pantry be open?

The pantry is open from 2pm to 6pm on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month. No appointment is necessary. You are welcome to come at anytime from 2-6pm.

How can I help?

There are many ways you can play a part:

  • Volunteer to help during the pantry open hours. We need hosts, baggers, and friendly faces.
  • Volunteer to help behind the scenes with data entry, product sorting, product pickup and stocking.
  • Bags! We especially need plastic shopping bags and gallon/quart/snack size storage bags.
  • Make and drop-off snacks (cookies/brownies/etc.) for when the pantry is open.
  • Donate to help startup and stock the pantry.
  • Give regularly to keep the pantry stocked.
  • Donate needed items to the pantry. Your donations are welcome. However, we can get special quantity pricing on most items, so encourage you to get the most bang for your buck by supporting the pantry financially.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
