Pancake mix and syrup--what a great idea! I will add that to our lists too
We also have requests for rice or pasta as many meals can be built around it. Along with canned meats(tuna, chicken). Those mac and cheese microwavable things are popular. The mac and cheese boxes are actually expensive to make as you have to have milk and butter/margarine on hand. Juice boxes or small cans have been requested as they are shelf stable for a long time. Also, those Nesquik shelf stable chocolate milk. And, canned soups are always requested.
For our scouting for food event, we always take the kids to the truck loading so that they can see how much is collected when everyone works together.
