“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
March 16: Grocery Pick-up
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16: FOOD SHELF HOURS: 12 NOON TO 6 PM
We are continuing to check 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.
Please continue to WEAR A MASK. We want to keep everyone safe, visitors and volunteers alike.
Weather permitting, there are two tables outside the Food Shelf with miscellaneous items. Please take only what you will use.
Donors, thank you for your generosity, financially, and with donated groceries! As a reminder, if you are looking to drop off donations on Wednesdays, volunteers are available to receive donations from 11 AM to 6 PM on Wednesdays and/or during open hours on the first Saturday of each month. Some grocery donations to consider: apple juice; Progresso or Campbell’s Chunky soups with chicken or beef; cereals (Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran, etc.); pasta sauce (without meat). Thank you!
Help us spread the word to those that may not see the Front Porch Forum, Facebook, or website posts!

Donors, we hope you saw the post last week with the client grocery list. If not, you can view the post by clicking this link. You are all great donors to the Food Shelf and the groceries you bring are much appreciated and given to our clients in several different ways. The most important way is in their regular monthly groceries. In order to achieve that goal, the donations need to match the shopping list.
As a reminder, please drop off donations on Wednesdays from 11 AM to 6 PM or during open hours on the first Saturday of each month.
