🍉“Stretching Summer: Smart Meals & Budget Wins With Your LOM Pantry”🍔

Summer is here—and while school is out, the kitchen is in full swing. With kids at home all day, we know the pressure to provide consistent, nutritious meals can hit hard—especially when grocery bills seem to keep climbing. That’s where Love Outreach Missions (LOM) steps in.

At LOM, we’re not just filling bags—we’re helping you stretch your budget, reduce waste, and create joy-filled meals all summer long. With staples like milk, cereal, fresh fruit, salads, burgers, ribs, chicken, pork, deli, and dairyitems, our pantry is packed with ingredients that help families thrive, not just survive.

💵 Budgeting Tips That Actually Work

1. Create a Weekly Meal PlanUse what you get from the pantry as your foundation. Planning just 4-5 dinners a week around your pantry items can save you $60–$100 weekly at the grocery store.

2. Build Around Themes

• Meatless Mondays – Use pantry salads or rice bowls with beans

• Taco Tuesdays – Ground beef or chicken can make tacos, wraps, or burrito bowls

• Grill Fridays – Hot dogs, ribs, burgers – all pantry provided!

3. Freeze What You Won’t Use ImmediatelyPortion meats and freeze them. You can turn one pantry pack of chicken into three separate meals.
