The cupboards at Salvation Army in Jamestown look more like after-Christmas clearance aisles than stocked shelves for hungry families.
Peanut butter, tomatoes and a few tubes of toothpaste remain for those in need of assistance, but shelves alotted for rice, beans, noodles and a variety of other products are bare. A chest freezer, typically full of hamburger, ham and roasts, is empty.
And that means some families go with less, or go with none at all.
“Due to a decrease in food drives and individual donations, we are unable to adequately provide for the families depending on us,” said Lt. Mitch Brecto, corps officer for the Salvation Army in Jamestown.
The Salvation Army supplies food to about 264 men, women and children per month from Jamestown and surrounding communities including Pingree, Medina and Millarton. Because of the economy, food pantries across the region have reported donations are down while the need for them arises. In Jamestown, the Salvation has seen an uptick in need of about 15 percent since last year.
The country itself faces similar issues.
In a 2010 nationwide Hunger in America study, 18 percent of clients with children said their children skipped meals during the last year because the family couldn’t afford the food. In the same study, 24 percent of adults skipped meals almost every month because they couldn’t afford to eat.
“When you’re down and out, you’re down and out in everything,” said Corps Officer Lt. Teresa Brecto.
Because of the decrease in supply, the Salvation Army has reduced what it will give to those seeking help. So the church is seeking donations, hoping Jamestown-area residents, churches, businesses and service clubs will reach into their wallets, and maybe even their pantries, and give to those in need.
Teresa Brecto said the Salvation Army can use any unexpired, nonperishable good like pasta, pancake mix, canned vegetables and powdered milk. Hygiene products are helpful too, like dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant and razors.

The irony is that I'm not a particularly fashionable person. I don't buy clothes that are trendy — at least not until they're on clearance long after the trend has ended. Instead, my problem is one of not being able to let things go.
