Attention Gardeners! Is Your Garden Still Producing?
We welcome any excess produce your garden may still be producing! We ask that you bring any extra produce that you would like to donate to the Food Shelf on WEDNESDAYS only, preferably before the Food Shelf opens at 12 Noon. We will have volunteers at the Food Shelf by 11:00 a.m. Once there are clients waiting in line you should part at Claussens and walk over to the Food Shelf. If your garden is put to bed for the season, please accept our gratitude for all the produce you shared with other Colchester residents. During the third quarter, we received 1,304 pounds of donated produce! Much appreciated!

Thank you, Donors!
Thank you so much for the donated groceries each week. During the third quarter, we received 4,122 pounds of donated groceries. Remember to bring items only on Wednesdays. You can park at Claussens and look for the container near the left garage door at the Food Shelf. We are open 12 Noon to 6:00 p.m.
