Johnston has four volunteers that help her every year and she said she would be lost without their help. She said they are often helping out by putting food on the shelves four or five days out of the week and they love helping others. If people are having a hard time deciding on what they should donate, Johnston suggested cash donations .are always welcome; donating foods that your fancily would like; food with pro- tein `fie beef and pork; healthy food that is low in fat or high in fibre; veg etables and fruits; for children, food that they would enjoy, like fruit cups, juice boxes, granola : bars, etc and any non-per- ishable on-per-ishable foods. Johnston suggested that people should- n't donate any food that hasn't been pasteurized or that comes from a place • that hasn't been inspected. Basically anything that comes from a grocery store is what people should bring in. Ifpeople want to donate to the North Huron Community.
