“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

AND
SATURDAY, JANUARY 8: FOOD SHELF HOURS: 9 AM TO 11 AM
Please WEAR A MASK, even while waiting in your car. If you can wear double masks for a short time, it would be much appreciated. Volunteers are also wearing masks. We want to keep everyone safe, visitors and volunteers alike.
We are checking everyone’s proof of residency for 2022. Documentation should be a bill, such as a utility bill, insurance bill, etc., or a mortgage/lease agreement. A Vermont Hunting/Fishing license or auto insurance paperwork can be used as well if they contain your current home address. Unfortunately, a driver’s license and/or car registration can NOT be used for proof of residency.
In January, because New Year’s Day fell on the 1st Saturday of January, we will instead be open on Saturday, January 8, from 9 AM to 11 AM.
Donors, please do not leave donations outside the building when we are not open. Generally, volunteers are not available to stop by to check for donations on a daily basis. We have had some donations left outside which caused items to freeze and they had to be discarded.
Volunteers are at the Food Shelf on Wednesdays at 11 AM to prepare for the day. Please feel free to stop by and drop off donations between 11 AM and 6 PM on Wednesdays. Volunteers will also be able to accept donations on Saturday, January 8 from 8:30 AM to 11 AM.
Help us spread the word to those that may not see the Front Porch Forum, Facebook, or website posts!
PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WELL!
