“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”
― Chinese Proverb
Wednesday, May 3: Grocery Pick-up
WEDNESDAY, MAY 3: FOOD SHELF HOURS: 12 NOON TO 6 PM
SATURDAY, MAY 6: FOOD SHELF HOURS: 9 AM TO 11 AM
We begin a new month and the Food Shelf will be open on Wednesday and Saturday this week. As mentioned in earlier posts, beginning this month, we are asking clients who have reusable shopping bags to bring some with you when you come for your monthly groceries.
PROOF OF RESIDENCE INFORMATION: Please don’t forget to bring Proof of Residency if you are a new client or are asked to bring it. Please remember that this is the only piece of personal information we require for you to use the services of the Food Shelf. Proof would be a current bill, lease, etc., with your name and address. A driver’s license or car registration can not be used as Proof of Residence.
DONATIONS: Thank you to all who donate so generously. The high-priority items are those that are on the shopping list used by our clients. You can find a list of high-priority items by visiting the Donate page on our website (or click here to view the list). Please try to stop by between 11 AM and 12 Noon with your donations. It is easier to get in and out since the Food Shelf is not open for clients until noon. Two volunteers are at the Food Shelf getting ready for the afternoon.
Please stay safe and well!
Help us spread the word to those that may not see the Front Porch Forum, Facebook, or website posts!
Where Can You Find Us?
The Food Shelf is located at 245 Main Street, Colchester, between Claussen’s Greenhouse and Union Memorial School.
Our mailing address for donations is Colchester Food Shelf, PO Box 625, Colchester, Vermont 05446.
